When I first heard about the crash I wondered why the pilot ejected- so many times I've seen stories of fighter jets crashing and the pilot sacrificing himself so that he could at least control the plane enough to hit a street instead of a house.
Maybe the plane was so uncontrollable that he had no other choice.
I was in SD a few weeks ago for the Sunday night NFL game. A couple of F-18s did a flyby after the anthem- I wonder if it was one of the same pilots.
