156 white (cn 2960905556) Tailstrike!! One of the stars of this years RIAT, at the end of Sunday's display the pilot put the aircraft down hard and it bounced in the air before touching down again. It was only when looking at my shots later on I realised that the jetpipes had touched the runway, creating a shower of sparks. It can only have happened for a split second, as nobody nearby seemed to notice it either!

Mig should be able to rotate at a very steep angle, the main gear does not seem to have fully extended.

Ladies and Gentleman, a new airshow routine called 'Tailstrike', Ha! No malice here. Everyone makes mistakes, even the Best test pilots in the world. Glad everything turned out okay.

5 stars to photo, but it clearly shows the state of our aviation: lack of fuel leads to flight level decreasing...This touches even demonstrators:((((

You're very lucky to have captured this photo, since you said it was a split second. One normally does not expect a tail strike from a military plane. Good job Mark.
