Kind regards,

From the Globe & Mail in Toronto, I hope this is serious when it says the pilot is in not too bad condition.

Video of the PRACTICE incident here,,

Here (http://media.theage.com.au/world/world-news/closeup-video-of-jet-crash-1713370.html?from=newsbox).

A/c is on a slow near stall pass with a high angle of attack, when the starboard wing seems to start to drop. Others have suggested he stalled.

Gotta have a sore neck after looking where his head is positioned.

I'd rather a sore neck than be dead!
