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.

Glad to hear Boozer is doing well!

I concur

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?
