Anyone heard of the recent aerobatic SU-31 crash in Virginia?

Sergei awoke in his crashed inverted Sukhoi, unable to get out.
He had to wait until the canopy began to melt before he could extract himself.

Yes, he got burnt. I don't yet know what he was wearing.

Gloves, Helmet, Nomex - not suitable for general GA flying, but it can never hurt in aerobatics and warbirds etc. Synthetics? Leave them for the nightclub.
