29 Aug

A Polish Air Force F-16C exploded in a fireball during an airshow rehearsal in Radom, killing the pilot and forcing the cancellation of Poland’s largest airshow. Video shows the jet attempting a rolling maneuver before striking the runway. Officials called it a great loss for the military. Investigators are examining the cause amid a second U.S.-made fighter accident reported in the same week.
