The Spanish Air Force released a statement saying that the wild maneuver was due to the dang seagulls.
Many of you have been asking us what happened during the GijĆ³n air festival. As you can see, our F-18 pilot detected a flock of birds in its trajectory. This action is part of the standard protocol to preserve both the pilot’s safety and the public’s security. Our pilots are trained to react immediately to any unforeseen event.
In this case, the pilot acted with speed and skill, avoiding a possible impact without compromising the exhibition.
I’m sure that’s an air show that none of them will forget!

Do Spanish pilots wear brown shorts?

I’m not happy that our f-18 hornets will all too soon be in the hands of Muslims who will run Spain

They didn’t happen to be playing “I ran (so far away)” on the PA system, did they?

I didn’t see umbrellas and beach towels going up in a cloud of sand and water so, it all seems pretty run-of-the-mill to me.

It looks like the jockey was going to try to execute a roll and almost lost it.

It looks like the jockey was going to try to execute a roll and almost lost it. I agree. Looks to me like he was trying to do a knifedge pass then over-rolled and got the nose down.
If that's the best they got...

Go inverted 20 feet off the deck.
