It was a dogfight display right? One of the planes was painted like a Zero.

That made me think me think of the Su-27 collision the other day. All three of the pilots punched out, but I heard that one of the ejction seats or parachutes didn't work correctly and killed one of them.

I think it was a race of some sort. I don't know exactly what they were doing, as I was away from the field (standing in line for the porta-jon, lol) I still got a good view. I didn't see his chute until after the fireball, so I thought the pilot got killed. You can't imagine what a relief it was to look up and see that he'd made it!

I'm not sure if he hit the tail or not. I think the paper said something about his parachute being designed for someone lighter, but that sounded strange to me so you could be right.
