Who Should Be Drummed Out of The Corp"!

Didn't beat this guy through
When I first saw this picture I asked if it was an incoming gear up landing.
"No, bottom of a loop!" came the answer
Can't remember when and where it was.

Can't be photoshop, the old guy who gave me the answer (back in 2005) saw it live.
He had this picture stuck on his fridge
The Mig 17 cut short its routine and went for a 'normal' landing afterward.
'old guy' only saw a slightly scrapped nozzle on it.
Didn't say anything about pilot's underwear through
If anybody knows more about this incident...

Many years ago when the Reds flew Gnats, the syncro pair used to do an opposition Barrel Roll with the gear down, both aircraft touching down before and after the roll. On one occasion at Blackpool (?) one stalwart got it slightly wrong and in his own words:-
"After the actual roll and before the second touchdown, I realised I had got it wrong and I was going to hit the runway awfully hard, however after the 'landing' the aircraft was still flying so I finished the display. On shut down, the rear of the fuselage and the jet pipe were a fairly entertaing oval shape as opposed to the nice rounded finish Folland had intended":

That would be a red card - no question.
Saw a Typhoon do a similar thing at Fairford a while ago - you nay all recal; that was a red card too. How does it go - never get your nose below the horizon????
Pull up - Pull up at 1:29 secs

As with the others, Luck not skill.
Never seen the Typhoon vid from that angle (assuming there's only been one incident) and the commentary just about sums it up nicely.

Bob,
With a flare, nose above the horizon? I am not fast jet so obviously not that clever - just heard them say it when they have just frightened the SH1t out of themselves?????
