It’s not a rare plane but it was the only flyable one in the US and it’s doubtful any others will be imported.

Glad to hear he's recovering. That aircraft uses the KM-1 ejection seat, designed in the early 1960s. Unfortunately it's not uncommon for pilots to sustain injuries using that seat. Soviet/Russian aircraft designed from ~1980 onwards use the K-36 seat, which is probably still among the safest seats.

@@onlyhereformoney175 So looking a little into this, the KM-1 was designed specifically as a replacement ejection seat for the MiG-21. It had to be designed to be narrow, and there were some limitations to the seat as a result. I couldn't find specific dimensions of the seats, but I would expect the K-36 is too wide to fit in aircraft designed to use the KM-1. You can't just widen the cockpit to make it fit, either. It would likely require a substantial (and costly) redesign of the aircraft. Or you would need to design the K-36 to fit, in which case you will be sacrificing the performance and safety of the seat.

What actually happened to cause them to eject? The mig ejection system was designed for low level ejections which is dangerous in itself. Yes it pops you up high enough to get fabric above you but it’s so violent it can destroy the spine from the energy.

Pure luck that plane didn't hit a house or buildings and turn dozens of people of innocent people into human torches. Where I live, air shows are held at AIRPORTS with large amounts of area all around giving plenty of room should something go wrong. About a year ago a B-17 and P-63 collided at an airshow and while several on board were killed, no one on the ground was as the planes landed in a wide open field.

@burnttoast111

Crashes happen at airshows, and with all kinds of aircraft. A lot of rules have been made for airshows to minimize risk, usually after some terrible accident. Just like with car racing, and many other activities. The plane was over a lake at the time of the ejection (the pilots landed in the water), and the plane looked like it may have been going into a turn at the time of ejection (possibly to avoid that residential area). I wouldn't expect there to be any meaningful connection between a part of the canopy falling off, and whatever failure the plane experienced leading to the crash. There are strict rules for aircraft inspections and maintenance, along with paper trails. The investigation should provide answers on what caused this, and this can be used to determine what changes, if any, need to be made.

By sheer luck it avoided an apartment building by about 20 feet. Yeah, there's risk in all kinds of things but the problem with this sort of thing is that the people this could have killed didn't buy a ticket to go to an air show and assume some risk - they aren't like the people who buy tickets, and, lean over the railings at the Indy 500.

@@guymerritt4860 You are stating with such confidence an understanding of this accident which doesn't seem to be justified. Are the plans for this aircrafts flight for this airshow posted somewhere online, which you have carefully examined? Have you been studying maps of the area, where all the residential areas are? Or are you using the power of imagination based on a 10 second video clip? Honestly, if the number of deaths and environmental damage from airshows cause you this much concern, I wonder how it would be possible for you to sleep at all. You must be living in a concrete underground bunker wearing full safety gear, and living on crops grown in your hydroponic farm. Crops you perform rigorous chemical/biological tests on to ensure that there is no contamination. I took a brief look at airshow deaths in the US. It would probably take at least 50 years of airshows in the US to amount to the number of people killed in car crashes in a single day in the US at current rates. And most of those killed are people flying the planes. I'm not trying to make you feel bad here. The human brain is error-prone, and there are many types of fallacies it naturally makes. You can look up cognitive biases to see a large list of the types of errors we all naturally make. Have a great day!

It’s great having these shows, however maybe there is some way to mitigate the risk. Like having them in a more rural area.

You wonder why he didn't stay with the plane longer to try and get it away from buildings, and then one of the chutes opens well below the altitude of the plane, and you realize why they had to eject when they did. There was barely enough space as it was.

I think this is pilot error or ejection malfunction. For those who said he steered clear of danger that’s a complete lie. He ejected plenty high and the plane was still in a turn. He had absolutely no idea where it was going to crash and had zero control over that outcome. Pilot error I’m calling it now. Let’s see…

It would appear that the aircraft that crashed was a two-seat MiG-23U.
