Glad to hear the pilot made it out okay. I have crashed a company car before and felt bad, can't imagine the pucker factor when you crash a $20 million dollar plane!

Hopefully the air show will go on, it's the first year I have bought tickets.
I've allways wondered what goes through a pilot's mind, when that moment comes ? Should I eject, or hang in there? God, I hope they're not gonna make me pay for this thing.
