I've got the video on this one somewheres??

Thats the Air Forces Thunderbirds Pilot/F-16 jet at one of the airshows...

Hog

was the plane going down and he had to eject or was it a malfunction of the seat or pilot error?

From what I remember on this one.. it was a flame out engine mal fal on take off...

back in 97 a stealth fighter crashed at an air show in Maryland but he was a little higher up when he ejected

BALTIMORE - A "Stealth" fighter plane was making a fly-by during an air show at Glenn L. Martin Airport near here Sept. 14 when its wing fell off.

The plane was cruising in level flight on a perfect autumn day when the disaster occurred. It went into a tailspin, broke into several pieces, crashed into a house and exploded in the working class neighborhood of Essex. Fortunately the house was unoccupied and the pilot parachuted to safety.

Immediately, the neighborhood was sealed off and FBI agents rushed to the scene. Secrecy is such a priority that the Federal Transportation Safety Board, which usually investigates airplane crashes, will not be permitted to probe this disaster.

The Air Force asked residents to please return any fragments of the plane that fell in their backyards to preserve the mystery of its radar-evading properties.
