A Spanish Air Force F/A-18 Hornet had a very close call during a remote airshow performance in picturesque Gijón. The Hornet was flying at very low altitude towards the beach, which was packed with spectators, in a near-perpendicular fashion, when it executed a hard right roll. The sudden maneuver saw the jet descend low above the waves before recovering and climbing out. Clearly it shocked the audience, many of whom had their cameras rolling.
It seems like smoke came out of one engine and after that the pilot used afterburner to avoid the crowd at the beach.
That just looks like excellent flying to me.
Sounds so incredible live.
Check out r/aviation for latest discussions and videos of the incident. Official reason: evasive maneuver to prevent bird strike
A flock of birds appeared out of nowhere, you can see them at the beginning, which triggers the evading maneuvers you can see in the video.
