    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.

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

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

    Some great photos on MSNBC's photoblog:

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

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

    Boozer and Billy (Billy flew the demo in 2008)








    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?
