Captain Brian Bews, a CF-18 fighter pilot, who's plane crashed at the Lethbridge, Alberta, airshow, is one lucky Canuck.

"Dear Captain Bews:
After extensive review, the RCAF has determined that you are wholly at fault for the recent loss of your F-18 aircraft. Please make out a money order, cashier's cheque, or other certified funding instrument in the amount of $200,000,000.00, payable to the Canadian Treasury." |

I wonder if McDonnell Douglas lost any sales that day.

I saw the footage on TV. That guy baled at just about the last possible moment.

He looks almost horizontal when he ejects so so the seat know which way is up?
BTW let's all points and laugh at the Canadians for renaming the jet CF-18. For CanadianF-18. The rest of the world doesn't do that when they order up a plane. |
and another caterpillar is born...

erm, I think we call ours FA-18s. and I think they are slightly different - especially the avionics and gizmos and stuff. I guess the Canadians' are likewise different.

They might be laughing now, but only because the rest of the factions are acting like spoiled rich fat pasty guys whose spot has been peed in. :p: |
