All video are welcome and not pointless as we learn from it. Some of us are learning by doing and learning by watching others. Same with the huge Gripen crash or Mac crashing his big B29 in to the spectators... education in allot of ways and well worth watching.

Yes I saw those flights too but there were many on the F100 that went smoothly. The SU27 flew great until that gear malfunction and the landing was a little hard which knocked the heck out of that one gear leg.

One small thing that could have contributed to the loss of directional control is that the runway at the willow is very heavily crowned which tends to slide you one way or the other. It is one of the first things newcomers notice about the runway.
The thing was amazing to watch in the air though. Scotty

So based on the title I guess this thread was just advertisement then?

More like information regarding the loss of a one of a kind aircraft, that others would be concerned about. With the new modern age everyone who has a cell phone, will also have the potential to record events. Perhaps someone else has video of the crash. If I did not attend the event, I would still be interested to find out what happened. I will be posting video of the 2nd crash, that occurred on take off in this thread. As far as advertising, the trailer is where I advertise. Do not forget that I am a fellow modeler and I have been flying model aircraft, Jets, Helicopters, Prop planes etc since 1991. I just started taking video in the last 6 years

Well I have been flying for 36 years and love to learn continuously in this hobby. I was picking on you because the perception was just that. Just be careful because others will have a hard time not seeing the "grey" of communications.

I personally love your videos...great work.
