Hey, gringo, watch this for a manoeuvre!!!

An unrepeatable demo for Spanish military families by an F-18 at the Zaragoza airbase - "and now for something very difficult...."

Pilot ejected (late) but survived.

Very difficult to make out where it went tits up, but looks like he managed to stall the aircraft. Good to see that he managed to eject, no doubt to soon appear. hopefully medically recovered for an uncomfortable interview with his commanding officer.

Look how close the pilot comes to drifting into the fireball. Very lucky guy not to be immolated.

The observer of fools in military south and north...

I'd love to know what the RFFS think they're looking for! "Ola Manuel, maybe we better check in case he had his senorita on board?"
