Problematic with a single engine jet. I’m assuming that he lost the engine. Sixteen to one glide ratio. I wonder if the stick is supposed to do something automatically on ejection.... pull up and stall out, maybe? Seems like the last time I heard of one going down was on takeoff at an airshow with a relatively short runway. They said it would have been able to land on a long runway

Things may have happened very quickly.

He was trying to put it down on the airfield, that uncommanded pitch-up will be of great interest to the investigation board and I’m sure the CSFDR (Crash Survivable Flight Data Recorder) download is of great interest.
