For my SoCal flying brethren, any one know what happens at Bracket yesterday? I heard a small plane went down.

"Pilot survives" is initial report. From the looks of he is very lucky to have made it out.

A pilot was on board the aircraft when it struck a perimeter fence

If he bailed in flight, that would have been pretty impressive.

Lost power after landing? Yea, ok. Maybe he was full power after landed and drove through a fence.

Glide slopes are overrated......(maybe he was playing F16 pilot?)

Just read the description on the video - I was in the cockpit in the Redbird sim in Istanbul with that F-16 pilot!
