I saw it happen, I was on the other side of the airport. Then we raced over to where it crashed and observed from the other side of the highway. And when I saw the flames I thought for sure the it hit the Building. The flames were so close. It is unbelievable how close the plane got.

A 1/72 model by MPC of a single seat FLOGGER-D was 1 of the 1st models I ever built, so sorry to hear this aircraft lost, thankfully no casualties.

I was bummed at Oshkosh when it couldn't go up Saturday night, presumably because of the canopy issue on Friday. I was excited to see it fly but never got the chance to. As disappointing as it is to see this rare aircraft go down, I'm just glad that no one was hurt.

He's not going to be hoping in another anytime soon. It's going to be a while with the FAA & NTSB anyways. He's a a retired Navy pilot, current commercial pilot and Desert Storm veteran. Those dudes are pretty squared away. He buys, sells, and flys old retired soviet jets as a side business. More than likely it was a loss of hydraulics or flight controls, otherwise he would have lined it up for the river before punching out to ensure it stays clear of the public. Thats not what happened, he certainly wouldn't have wanted it to go into a residential area lucky or not. Punch out and be able to explain it and hope for the best or ride it in and die with it.

01:23...it is perfectly visible how the ridge under the tail mechanically turns when langing gear up moved in up position !👍

Glad both crew ejected safely. Very glad the crashed jet missed houses & people. Sad loss of an interesting plane.

It's a real shame that this rare fighter is now, just a pile of burnt, and twisted materials, but, I'm glad that the pilot/owner, his back seater, and people on the ground weren't injured, or killed.

Look at the tail section in the ground and airborne situation. A retractable extra tail structure.

That mig is no more. I'm glad the two pilots were able to eject safety and nobody got killed.

2:19 The sound of an approaching Flogger... I remember it very well as I used to spend days in the area where Polish Floggers would do training flights. I loved to watch and hear them. It was in the early '90s in the northern Poland. No other aircraft would make the same howling-jet noise, neither the Fishbed, nor the Fulcrum. Perhaps the Fitter would come close in the terms of "cool sound".

So sad that this gem crashed, hope another one rises from its ashes like a Phoenix.

Absolute beauty.

Thanks to the experts on our Soviet history of the aviation industry, Thanks to the American guys, it’s a shame for the lost two-seat combat trainer, but the pilots are alive and that’s the main thing, Greetings from Russia

Mig 23 is unique and wonderful fighter jet thaks for its contribution and tireless endeavour to protect Indian Soil.

For every landing of this aircraft , it always reminds me the swedish gripen , it's not used other tools to stop , that's why it can land and take off from a short distance....

We had the same in my country!😊

I watched erik johnsons detailed walk through video on this plane awhile back...what a shame to see it go down but at the same time...amazing that nobody got killed or lost their homes. The FAA already makes owning these old foreign warplanes or any old war bird very difficult and a hard process as does many of these alphabet letter gangs do for anyone and now they will probably make it even more difficult. Waiting to see what the cause of it end up being because the engine was still on when they ejected.

Dang, that aircraft looks like an F-4 and F-111 had and unprotected fling after guzzling a few gallons of Stoli. 😅 It’s been theorized that it had a failure of the turbine drive shaft, disabling hydraulics and causing the crash. Apparently the 23 was known to have this issue. Might be a while until we know for sure. Glad the only casualty was the aircraft, as it could have been much worse.
