Russian Pilot's Ejection From An Su-25 Seen In Incredible Headcam Video

The incredibly violent action sequence of a Russian Su-25 Frogfoot pilot ejecting looks like something out of a video game, but it's not.

I've heard it said that any landing you can walk away from is a good one.

Seems to be fairly common lately. At least this one didn't fly into an apartment building full of people.

Bird strikes also cause a lot of aircraft to crash as well. This video from militaryfighterjet.com shows what happened to an aircraft that was on a training mission involving a UK Royal Air Force crew in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewanon in May in 2004. . The aircraft suffered an engine failure as a result of the bird strike and if you watch the video, you can hear the 2 pilots are trying to re-start the engine. When they realize it is not possible the only option they do have is to eject from the aircraft and leave it in free fall. That’s what the 2 pilots are doing exactly. Capt John Hutt from the Canadian air force and RAF Flt Lt Edward Morris eject moments before the aircraft hits a nearby field. Although it was a close call, both pilots survived the situation.

Or as the pilot was heard to utter in Russian, "Ain't no cure for a summertime bruise."
