Well that was probably a bit closer than he would have liked.
Glad He's alright though.

Nothing like testing the systems abilities and parameters!!!
Looks like the Paris Airshow in 1988, when the Russian planted that MiG-29. I met that Ruskie pilot the following year at Abbotsford Airshow in Canada, Eh! It was way cool, he was short, broad, no neck, bald, and acted like a little kid when talking about it!
