Investigation Reveals Pilot's Unpreparedness in Michigan Airshow Crash

A preliminary investigation into the crash of a Russian-made fighter jet during an airshow in Michigan suggests that the pilot and backseater had different views on whether to eject. The report revealed that the backseater likely pulled the ejection handles for both of them, while the pilot was attempting to land the plane. The investigation did not determine why the jet lost power or whether the pilot could have safely landed the aircraft. The crash has raised concerns about the risks associated with airshows, which have had previous fatalities.
