Oh man, glad to hear he is okay, but wow, that sucks!
Looks like it happened during a low-slow pass, when an aircraft is most vulnerable.
Seen in better days

From what I understand, Boozer was recently released from the hospital.

Wow this is the first plane I ever took a picture of that crashed. I remember waiting for this bug come to FRG on airshow week sweating my arse off and I remember standing at the AAM with my fellow NYCA members watching this bug leave.
This is very sad but I'm happy the pilot is okay.
Here are some pics I have more but I'm not at home and I didn't upload them to my server yet.
Just landed at FRG:

Here is a shot of him I took for him in Chris B's P-51. Man was he impressed with that Mustang!

After watching the video it looks like he was doing a high alpha pass.....probably the worst time to lose an engine.

I am a little disappointed though - I figured surely Fred would have found a way to get photos of this himself. :wink:

And this is my all-time favorite video I've shot of a CF-18...

A shame about the plane, but so glad the pilot escaped any major injuries! Anyone else hear what song was playing during the practice flight?

Yep, very appropriate since he stayed alive and all. :-)

Staying alive is the song that is playing during the High Alpha Pass.
I had the pleasure of hanging with the CF-18 demo team a few different times during the Jones Beach show. They all were very accommodating & appreciative of the fan support.
Here are a few of my PICS of the team (East Coast Maintenance) & the plane.

The 1st time I ever took a pic of a plane that crashed. (Might be a lie. I have N921FT before it overshot the runway. Not sure if that counts) Really glad the pilot is ok. Crashes without life loss are good crashes.

Just out of curiosity, how do they (ie: the military) go about replacing jets that are lost? Since this was a demo aircraft, do they pull one from another part of the Air Force to replace this one? Are there any in inventory that are considered "spares" to be re-designated in such situations? Provided the pilot recovers quickly (hope so), do they send him right back up in another jet?
