Seems like we would have by now a computer controlled eject if the plane is unrecoverable.

Highly unlikely to ever happen ... because fighter pilots would not tolerate it. It's their ship, and their responsibility, from the moment it starts moving to the moment it stops moving.

Funny thing about loops you need a lot of altitude.

Could be. What I'm thinking of does not take control from the pilot unless the plane would not survive the next couple of seconds. Like if the pilot is unconscious or the g forces are so high the pilot can't operate the eject sequence.

There is no good reason for these types of airshows to exist. Just let the people look at the planes on the ground.

These air “stunts” are just too dangerous. You just never know when an engine is going to fall off.
