Only a plane with an amazing thrust to weight ration could have gotten out of what looked to be an unrecoverable ground impact! Did the pilot have a temporary mental lapse or physical emergency at the time? I suspect he had to grab a fresh pair of undies after landing.

The alarms inside the cockpit were ringing loud no doubt.
He was getting yelled at by Leslie Shook, a woman from my area.
quote:
Every technician and every pilot who has trained on or flown in an F-18 has heard Leslie’s stern commands. Her voice is affectionately known in the fighter jet world as Bitchin’ Betty.
I’ve done the very same maneuver multiple times while flying the F/A-18 through the Grand Canyon (MS Flight Simulator) the only difference is I usually end up bouncing off the cliff face and slowly falling down to the Colorado River.
Side note - kinda pissed they pussified MSFS no more glorious fireball crashes, just bounce around and end upside down
What part of "...Shall not be infringed" don't you understand???
