About this video

This Russian SU-30 MKI crashed in 1999 during le Bourget airshow (Paris, France). The plane did one too many revolutions, and didn’t have the altitude to get out of the manoeuvre. The plane scraped the ground at the bottom of a downward loop, and then attempted unsuccessfully to gain altitude before falling back down and bursting into flames. No one was hurt and the two pilots ejected safely.
