F-16 display pilot crash

[tellmethesecrets]

Hi all, hoping you can help me please?

I briefly saw something whilst I was on holiday (with limited internet access) about an awful incident involving an f16 display jet crashing.

Since returning home, I've tried to find a thread/discussion on here that might hold more detail, but I am unsuccessful in both my search through the forums, and my keyword search!

Could someone please be so kind as to link the thread to me?

Many thanks in advance!

P.s still a huge pet peeve that 'new threads' aren't listed chronologically and only new posts on threads show up on my page ?

Footage obtained by Reuters showed the F-16 performing a barrel roll before crashing in flames as it skidded across the ground. The General Command of the Armed Forces said that the accident involved an aircraft from the 31st Tactical Air Base near Poznan and that there were no injuries to any bystanders.

He screwed up and paid the price as by all appearances he ran out of altitude and ideas.

Oh that's sad! Thank you for this.  I take it there's been no thread/discussion exploring possible faults etc?

We watched this guy fly at cosford in June and he was great.

Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends
