CF-18 jet crashes at Alberta airport

How appropriate to play "Staying Alive" before crashing !!

"Staying Alive" as videosong ??? Strange choise

After watching the video a few other things noticed to me;

- Altitude of the a/c, as she 'drifts' around in the corner a small 100ft tumble down and impact (low altitude)
- Indeed the nozzle difference.
- A impact shot also shows a blowtorch (steekvlam) comming out engine#1, looks like all airflow/pressure leaves through here and engine#2 is closed / vacuum / stalled (also complies with statements above).

No, if you listen better, than you can hear clearly the song being played on the speakers at the airshow.
On airshows in the US and Canada it's normal to play music during displays.

Wow, dit plaatje staat op de site van "Glove and Mail" en is genomen door Ian Martens/Lethbridge Herald/The Canadian Press. Dat is haast net zo'n bizarre foto als die plaat die ooit van de crashende Thunderbirds is gemaakt....!

[Iwan Bogels]

Oh ja, en het is meteen bevestigd dat het de 188738 is (zie bovenkant rechter vleugel)

Dit is een erg vette plaat, Zonde van de hornet.
