With only a split second before his plane hit the ground in
giant ball of flame, this air force pilot miraculously managed to
eject to safety.
As Captain Brian Bews, 36, of the Royal Canadian Air Force
performed a daring low pass of an airfield yesterday, his CF-18
fighter jet suddenly stalled.
But his quick reactions and his rocket-powered ejector seat
saved his life as he was catapulted out of the stricken
£30million aircraft.
What a lucky escape, Captain Bews was taken to hospital, where
he will remain this weekend after landing hard and getting dragged
across the runway by his parachute.
So now you know who is more precious, Pilot or Plane.
