An Italaian Typhoon crashed into the ocean during the Terracina airshow. The pilot was killed. The crash was captured on multiple videos from multiple angles and it appears that the pilot never pulled out of the loop, and did not eject prior to the crash.
I wonder if the pilot was performing the maneuvers lower than normal because of the scattered cloud deck? Or GLOC? and rode it down?
A composite still of the video is pretty hazy and its hard to make out the position of the canards and other maneuvering surfaces prior to impact.
Condolences to the pilots family and all in all its been a rough 2017 for military aircraft.
