Hi there

It's a Sukhoi SU-26.

The accident occurred on Oct 31, 2003 at the Twin Ring Motegi race track in Tochigi, Japan during the Haute Voltige Aerobatics Grand Prix.

The pilot, Alexandre Krotov from Russia survived the accident. The plane's left wing clipped a light pole.

Luckiest man alive on that day!!

HTF - don't suppose he had time to ejaculate?

BTW it looks like it was the RIGHT wing.

I suppose he had other things on his mind rather than 'cracking one off' at that particular moment!

Even if he had an <ejaculation> seat,probably not a good idea to use it upside down ,20 feet from the ground!

Ejaculation Seat?

Is an ejaculation seat the seat in front of a home PC?
