Epic indeed - I imagine he wishes he had NOT spoken to the journos

""I was feeling turbulence," he said. "My perception was that I had turbulence with a downdraft." - almost like a stall........................

"he watched with disbelief as the CF-18 plummeted to the ground and burst into a massive fireball." - who writes this stuff? As if he expected much else.........a bit like my Harrier ejection - yep, I was really surprise when it crashed 200 feet away from me.

"Soon, Bews felt that the jet was possessed by some other force - err - over here we call it 'gravity'.

It is always edifying to read an actual transcript of what he said and run it alongside this stuff.
