An excellent video was available a while back. A blue Angels? Jet doing a solo, set the wrong pressure setting on the altimeter. He thought he had the gate, but hit the runway. Luckily he ejected in time
Link to the video is below. LOTS of people thought (and repeatedly stated) he missed his gate while performing a loop. This is incorrect.
