I heard a story of a Harrier pilot who completely fouled up his display and nearly crashed his jet. Upon landing, was ready to 'cough' to his errors, but instead won the 'best display' award - although his 'mishap' didn't escape his Bosses who tore him off a strip.
Is this just urban myth - or did it really happen?
Are there any other stories of 'air show gaffes'?
