July 29, 2025Jul 29 Attempting a manoeuvre like that at very low altitude whilst heading directly towards a crowd of people?? Somebody needs to start taking their H&S risk assessments a bit more seriously.

July 29, 2025Jul 29 The biggest thing I learned from that??? I didn't know Spain flew the F-18 Other then that when it comes to Spain, no surprises 🤣 Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
July 29, 2025Jul 29 Holy Bat Guano...they almost had another Ramstein disaster on their hands. That F-18 had a vector right towards that crowded beach right before he pulled out. Jinking away from the show line towards the crowd to avoid a bird is pretty unprofessional, and they're really very lucky they didn't cause a mass casualty catastrophe.

July 30, 2025Jul 30 I don't know whether to applaud or cringe, probably a little of both. It was an interesting maneuver though. In the end, all is well. Tom MAKA = Make America Kind Again

Nope because he pulled off that manouvre well after the birds that were seen, so it is clearly not a reaction to birds, these guys address that theory at 2:24 Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me

July 31, 2025Jul 31 Come to think of it, I believe I have a picture from BofA HQ at the time (brown building 555 California St) on 50 or was it 52nd floor looking down on the aircraft as it flew by our building (this was back in the late 80’s and 90’s) … searching … Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. - Carl Sagan

If he was maneouvering to avoid birds that could have led into crashing into people, like those other guys said "Just Hit The Birds" 3 hours ago, SayAgain said: Not just a Spain thing … yanks do it too. My comment was satire, Toronto International Air Show they fly over the city and buzz the CN Tower with jets so that concept is nothing new, but not many cities provide this, Probably San Fran, Toronto, Melbourne and Dubai for airshows over a city Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
