MiG-29 crash on take off

Do you know what happens to pilots who try to impress the camera crew,
waiting half way the runway for a spectacular take-off shot ? Well, look
for yourself at http://www.dappa.nl/crash.htm.

Don't worry about any blood stains or casualties, there is only going to be
material damage and a pilot with a severely brused ego.

For those who are interested, we are collecting aviation mishap, accident
and crash video footage for personal use. If you have another video clip for
us, or if you can point us in the right direction on where to find it, we
would appreciate to hear from you. Our address is .

Aviation minded greetings,

I wonder if the ejection seat failed as well ......


....hardly seems like a MiG demo without firing the bang seat.

Hi Dave,

It seems to me that he just climbed out, as you can see the opened canopy at
the end (not blown off by the ejection).

Funny video though....

Cheers,
Iwan

Very similar incident occurred during VF-211 (IIRC, might have been 24) gun
det in El Centro many years ago. F-8J, low transition, and a not quite
enough airspeed prior to gear retraction. At least no video evidence for
posterity.

His gear appeared to drop towards the end. Would he have hit the control in
the hope he could "prop" up the a/c or would that have been a release
because of impact damage?

No. You "don't have to worry about blood stains and casualties" because
"there is only going to be material damage and a pilot with a severely
bruised ego."

Looks to me like he raised his gear too soon (maybe overrode the
weight-on-gear (WOG) switch that prevents the overeager from doing
such things on most fighters), and settled on his belly.

Or else too steep a pull up and not enough speed. A commuter airliner once
did something similar through not using flap on take off, but I dont suppose
that would be a factor here.

Great video!

I remember this crash from some time ago. It was explained that a hot dog
pilot tried to retract the gear at basically zero-zero altitude and then
pull up. But he screwed up the timing and the aircraft dropped downwards
and he couldn't recover.

If memory serves the plane was picked by a crane, the gear extened, bad
panel work replaced and it flew in a short period of time.

The Russians build them rugged.
