  • sob they were amazing wit all of them beter than the blue angels

  • Sad loss of life. I made a short film with the Arrows years ago, very professional men. I don't think they are especially "brave" there are others out there who are in the firing line every day, they are just doing what they are trained for and paid for. But it is always tragic when someone dies in this type of accident, I live very close to Scampton where they are based.

  • This is why Im not a Jet pilot like he is,

    maybe that the pilot is tuff enough to risk a crash/death,

    but what about your/my children and wife??!

  • Jon egging risked his own life to save others he did not have to stay in the plain he could of bailed but did his duty to save others but for that he is a hero R.I.P. Jon and regards to all of your family and friends and to all of the RED ARROWS

  • Damn, enough with all the popup annotations already! Ruining your fucking video. Save that shit for the video description.

  • I witnessed the Red Arrows Team 2007 at the Langkawi International Maritime Aerospace Display (LIMA). Their amazing skills should be remembered honured and respected. Rest in peace Jon Egging and regards to his family, friend and country. Your team and your skills will always be remembered.

  • R.I.P

    red arrows are the kings of the skies...

  • Bloody shame, for sure, but nobody will ever know the precise circumstances of what happened in his cockpit during that display.

    We can all make guesses, and maybe some of us might have a fair idea how it happened, but from the footage on this vid it's far too far away to make any definitive opinions one way or the other. Fact is, something went badly wrong, and the lad handled it the best way he knew how under the circumstances. RIP Jonothan - good job.

  • Every Pilots ,no matter of their nationality, are very brave and heroic

  • Events like this are always tough to watch. If for no other reason than the loss of life of a person that, in this case, was part of an extremely dedicated process pursuing precision and discipline. I personally feel that saying that these teams are just there for a show is a bit short sighted. The primary goal of these teams is to demonstrate what the military can offer to those interested, in this case, in flying. They are a recruitment tool, and usually, a very good one. RIP

  • Dunokuba... you do realise how much training and effort these guys devote to entertain the world. They risk thier lives to entertain the public; they could crash into each other at any time.. they fly so tightly that if someone makes a slight mistake, they would all turn into fireballs. This is most certainly brave, it is very corageous and the piolts in those planes are the best the R.A.F have....A.K.A a handful of the best in the world. Do not disrespect them please.

  • skip to 2:00 so cool

  • I'm italian and I've seen Red Arrows show many times in the most important italian air shows. I think they are really the best. I didn't know about this terrible accident before seeing this video. RIP, Jon.

  • so shocked and sad to hear of this have always enjoyed there show

  • Wasn't it bird-strike that caused the engine to fail and loose altitude ??

  • @jakeday1998 No the preliminary report suggests he blacked out on the break to land. Very similar to the Blue Angels crash a couple of years ago/

  • I saw this air show in Bristol, I think it was a week before the accident.

    It was great, and I pay all my respects to this guy, he died doing what he loved and will be remember for it

  • Comment removed

  • The bloke obviously died whilst doing what he enjoyed most. If only all of us could be so lucky!

  • Well the Brit's Fly trainer Jets , Maybe it's good they don't fly Real fighters cause they could kill themself's and people at the airshow , Sad RIP ...........

  • @texasfathead "Maybe it's good they don't fly Real fighters"???? What are you talking about? Americans never crash planes do they?

  • @texasfathead January 18, 1982: The "Diamond Crash", the worst training crash in Thunderbird history, occurred when Maj Norman L. Lowry, Capt Willie Mays, Capt Joseph N. Peterson, and Capt Mark Melancon were killed while practicing a line abreast loop during training at Indian Springs Air Force Auxiliary Field in T-38s. And thats what happens when Americans fly Jets

  • @texasfathead Just give a dead fighter pilot a bit of respect. Whats your problem ?

  • @texasfathead No, actualy, these were real fighters but are out of service, so they're not armed. And ive seen quite a few americans crash and kill the crowd but only 1 or 2 brits.

  • @texasfathead Aptly named. Twat.

  • idiots

    

  • @deathsparrow16 Americans never crash planes then?

  • Red Arrow is the Best!

    I'm a fan of them.

    RIP, Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging.

    Soar!

    Salute!

  • If God intend man to fly he would have given him wings!

    I saw in the newspaper today red arrow crash so is that another red arrow crash two crashes in one-year!

    II think they should change the rule and ban red arrows from low altitude show-off flying which doesn’t impress me anymore.

  • RIP how did it happen?

  • Unfortunately, another pilot has died in one of these beautiful machines, rip to the pilot and greatest condolences to the family <3

  • Have the crash investigation reports been released? Anyone know the cause?

    Did the engine maybe stall? wing stall? equipment failure?

    Brave pilot rode it out to the end, maybe trying to save the plane?

    Please advise,

    Perry

    RIP brave Lt. Egging and much love to his his family.. he risked his life to entertain us, and more importantly, to encourage others to serve and defend us...

  • R.I.P

  • R.I.P Jon Egging

    

  • i had just got back from aus when it happened

  • Think you could put a few hundred more dialog boxes in the video so we can't see what the hell is going on?

  • @pmgodfrey You could just turn off annotations.......

  • @damien334

    Didn't know I could do that... Thanks!

  • @poobear1ful me the ignorant arsehole haha fuck off

  • the greatest aerobatic team i've seen. RIP.

  • RIP Flight Lieutenant you was a brilliant pilot wish you was still here and again RIP xx

  • fuck the dickheads on here for talking shite. Flight Lieutenant Jon Egging was clearly a brave and courageous man for flying one of these planes in such a manner it gave joy to the world unlike you dickheads who don't. Bet you all wish you were like him ,RIP JON EGGING and regards to your family and friends x

  • @nickh1974 I do think that this is tragic, but to say he was brave and courageous for doing something so dangerous that merely entertained people is a bit much in my opinion.

  • @dunokuba no you stupid moron he was brave an courageous for taking the plane away from local residence an if you were in the same boat he was in you would crap yourself i mean come on really think about it he knowed he was going to die an that the plan was to low to eject out or he probably had a narrow strip in which to crash the plane to make sure know one els got killed or injured so before you show how

  • @dunokuba egnarent you are again you should put yopurself in there shoes i think the man is a hero an more ppl should be like him

  • @Hell19881988 Its ironic that I am being called ignorant by someone who can't even construct a fucking sentence.

  • @nickh1974 you are dickhead rudy pryszczolu

  • @Zbujnick I totally agree with your comment about all pilots are brave, but I don't get your reply comment rudy pryszczolu????

  • @nickh1974 Well Said!

  • Again, my condolences to family, and friends. Warm Regards.

  • What kind of jet??? Not an F-16 cuz it's two person, F-16's are not

  • @Meddlies Its Hawk, the trainer aircraft

  • @Meddlies It is a dual control BAE Systems Hawk T1 with a Rolls Royce Engine. They are a slightly modified version the Royal Air Force uses to train new pilots. It is a good, modern, and rugged plane.

    Both the F-16, US Air Force (Thunderbirds), and the F-18, US Navy/USMC (Blue Angels), come in a tandem two seat configuration, Plane #7 respectively. Their use is solely for a "guest". They are slightly modified, and stripped down. Tandems are used to train pilots to the plane, on carriers etc.

  • let God embrace you, Jon

  • @ventavog fairytales aren't going to help him now

  • @jameilious God is NOT a fairytale.

  • No one should die in such a stupid proof of skill.

    Really sorry about pilots, but it is possible to avoid such tragedies.

  • What was the official conclusion of the cause? It looks like a standard maneuver which makes me think possible mechanical failure. My condolences to his family and all who knew him. Regards.

  • @torro454 bird strike

  • @Dougie4zooropa Damn, that sure can do it.  Thanks for the info. Regards.

  • Comment removed

  • RIP to great Pilot

  • Very sad, never thought in a 100yrs I would live to see a red arrow go down. RIP.

  • @Petsublak With all due respect, every acrobatic team I know of has suffered losses, and collisions, some numerous times over years. Acrobatic flying is inherently dangerous, though they make it look easy, and graceful. All I can say is at least he died doing what he loved. It is sad, my condolences to all who knew him. Regards

  • @torro454 I understand the dangers, though in a positive view he died doing what he loved.

    Still as I said never thought I'll see the day when a red arrow would go round. Just grew up thinking they where perfection.

  • @Petsublak I can certainly understand that. They are an extremely good acrobatic team! Regards.

  • RIP brave man.

  • He took his live to avoid crashing into houses and people when he could of ejected earlier , TRUE HERO , MAKES ME PROUD TO BE BRITISH , R.I.P.

  • GermanyPS: Sorry our Politicians chickend out ,I am sure the Luftwaffe would have gladly done their part in Libyia side by side with British and French-Pilots if the Goverment wouldnt have been standing in their way.

  • oh no....... RIP, dear pilot.....

  • i remember that day i was in the shops with my dad and we just walked out and we seen them flying to bournemouth as they past bath. next day i found out 1 died. i was truely shocked. i feel so sorry for the mans wife. he risked it life to save others.

  • @eMiLy1997xxx Not disrespectful in any way, shape or form.

  • Respect and condolences to the family and friends. These guys are the elite and carry a proud tradition.

  • Did he eject?

  • No Risk No Fun.

  • Always a RISKY business !! Even in this day & age. You never can tell when a mistake or mechanical defect will occur, causing sad fatality.

  • this is the same thing that happened to blue angels #6 back in 2007 (rip Kojack) gLOC and no ejection i still have to think USN and USAF pilots are the best HOOAH!

  • The daft bint said "acrobatics".

  • check the footage of the arrows leaving bournemouth play it frame by frame with scrutiny and you will see the latest technology

  • und? selbst schuld!

  • lol malaka british pilots. greek pilots are the best!!

  • @IonianPride Naaa dought it!

  • @CrIp1391 what the fuck re you talking about? Ofcaurse we are the best. Fuck your soldiers whoever you are bitch!

  • @IonianPride Nope british piolots arew the best its what we are renowned for The RAF KICKS ANY OTHER AIRFORCES ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

  • I was at Bournemouth Pier before the crash.

  • The pilot couldn't handle the G-force & blacked out. Piloting failure.

  • Excuse me, does anyone know the registration number of the aircraft?

  • RIP to that Pilot, why didnt he eject ?

  • @MTaFtv He did but he ejected to low, he stayed with the jet long enough to make sure it was gonna crash away from any houses or people. a true hero

  • + R.I.P. + from Russia.

  • Stupid ass English man

  • @lawless6776 Have some respect man.

  • @lawless6776 go die you fat basterd if you got in a plane it wouldnt be able to take off because the maximum load is 10 tonnes you nascar loving mcdonalds eating piece of shit

  • @lawless6776 fuck u

  • @lawless6776 don't be so disrespectful, nobody in England is as stupid as an YANK because we have fucking houses older than your country I do not need to say anymore, goodbye you fat fucker

  • @crudebeats I apologize for this scumbag,we all aren't as disrespectful as this guy. Us yanks would not be anywhere without the British. The pilot was highly trained, how can he say that? -HM3 Richardson

  • @TecDiver05 this is good to read

  • R.I.P.

  • Now Let's see how many people are prepared to bring to account all the MI6 officers & staff - British officials involved in these inhumane Terrorist Crimes - With the same passion they have for bringing down Gaddafi. That's Justice and the Almighty God will be on your side.

  • Here you go - Have a read about The Original Terrorists aka British Government in the Independent - article - Moussa Koussa's secret letters betray Britain's Libyan connection. This is only the Tip of the Iceberg. ''Ye shall know the Truth & The Truth shall set you Free.

  • People will find any reason to fight on youtube

  • it may sound terrible but im sure this was the best way he could have gone-doing something he loved to do yes its a horrible accident and i feel very bad for the family but it is kinda like steve irwin he also died doing something that he loved

    RIP

  • @Invesigator People who believe that , like you, are the war criminals. I hope you rot in Hell.

  • @SuperPrivate2011 And also - By what and whose Authority are Egging or the RAF acting upon for them to think that they are Qualified to bring about the ''benefit of peace, justice and humanity'' in Afghanistan ?

  • The more you email me, the further it proves that you are a sad little person in a sad little existence...get a life mate....lose your virginity....smoke a joint....whatever gets you out of the little room you spend your life in.....theres more to life than youtube...I kind of feel sorry for you really. Trying to be intelligent on youtube, when, at the same time using the word almighty, hahaha. No doubt ill get ANOTHER reply from you, coz you have nothing better to do....rip john egging

  • @ollyolly85 ''dont bring your bullshit beliefs here...malcolmx28 you fucking stupid idiot...'the almighty'....what the fuck is that you cunt...go and die you dirty fucker'' - This was your comments directed at me - so i naturally responded to you - Now you have the audacity and are dumb enough to say ''The more you email me....'' - Well - I tell you what - don't make a comment to someone's comment if u don't want a response, U IDIOT - and if they do respond - it's their right too - U IDIOT

  • @ollyolly85 ''No doubt ill get ANOTHER reply from you,'' - Of course u will - u IDIOT - As u initiated the contact with me in the first place - U IDIOT - HOW DUMB CAN U BE - Now back to ur other response '' Nothing comes from 'non existence' you retard'' - So since that's the case - How can you and all other existing things come from ''Non Existence'' since you and all existing things are not ''Nothing'' - but things.

  • @malcolmx28 Idiot. The human race didn;t come from "nothing". It evolved from other life forms - not that you would know, being of the intellectual calibre of an amoeba.

  • @SuperPrivate2011 ''Idiot. The human race didn;t come from "nothing". - Please quote where i have written - ''The human race came from nothing''

  • @malcolmx28 No because it isn't true. You are the idiot. Anyway, more to the point, this video is in respect of a prematurely deceased man, and this isn't the place for having petty squabbles. I have nothing further to say to you.

  • @SuperPrivate2011 If u don't know something - just say - rather than making urself look an extreme dumb fuck - e.g - u stated - '' Idiot. The human race didn;t come from "nothing". - Now - I didn't write that anywhere - hence my request for u to quote me - and u can't - so how u reached that conclusion is a mystery - u dumb fcuk - U don't know jack shit - as to why the British forces are in Afghanistan - Least of all the bull shit reason that ur Gov is telling u - e.g, where r Sadaams WMD's

  • So you think god created everything around us yeah?? Hahahaha what about 100 billion plus galaxies that are out there?? Nothing comes from 'non existence' you retard

  • @ollyolly85 And just to clarify for you - U stupid dumb fcuk - my comments about God were relative to justice and why God does not Bless Oppressors - I did not mention God first - it was someone else. Make sure u have all facts to a conversation b4 entering into it - U Stupid Dumb FCUK.

  • Fuck off you sad little human malcolmx28....stop sending me emails...i cant be arsed with people like you, bible bashing idiots. Trying to convince me that there is a god, is like trying to fly to the moon. Which isnt gonna happen

  • @ollyolly85 ''stop sending me emails'' Ahh - U Poor Dumb Thing'' - Well don't direct a comment at someone & expect no response - What kind of person are u to even think that way ? UR THICK - It's like throwing a stone at a person & expecting them to just ignore it - What planet do u live on Mate? - So they throw a stone back - & u say stop throwing stones - Mate, U hold the world heavy weight championship of stupidity. '' theres more to life than youtube.'' - so why r u on here ? LOL U TWAT

  • Rest in Pieces, Eggman.

  • And how am i 'ignoring the facts of oppression' when i merely commented on how i enjoyed their shows, and how they are great pilots. On a tribute page. You prick. Get a life mate, and stop finding videos on youtube and leaving comments that you know will provoke a reaction. Cant look at your profile, but i bet your a sad lonely little 35 year old virgin. I found this video because i heard that tragically a red arrow pilot had died. You found it because your a cunt

  • @ollyolly85 '' And how am i 'ignoring the facts of oppression' when i merely commented on how i enjoyed their shows, and how they are great pilots.'' - Exactly - you idiot - Coz the Title of the post reads ''Red Arrow PILOT DIES in Crash - Tribute for Flt Lt Jon Egging '' - My comments are relative to the fact that - this guy also piloted a military aircraft to support Troops & a Policy of invading someone else's Land. Ethically - that's a contradiction.

  • And fuck off with your 'almighty' bollocks aswell, i dont care what other people believe in, its there choice, but i know there is no god. So you cant call me ignorant when you believe in the biggest load of shit ever invented. Your born, you live, then you die. That is it. Fuckin cock end

  • @ollyolly85 fucking well said

  • I cant reply directly because im on an ipad, youve come on a tribute video spouting hatred. You cant insult me mate, because i dont care. You got nothing better to do than find videos on youtube to be a prick on

  • Theres always pricks on here blabbing on about god and all that shit....dont bring your bullshit beliefs here...malcolmx28 you fucking stupid idiot...'the almighty'....what the fuck is that you cunt...go and die you dirty fucker

  • @ollyolly85 If you don't who the Almighty is now - Then when you die & you will die - You will know the Almighty Then - Now - If you wanna ignore that facts and truth about Oppression and what the British Army -Navy - Air Force & Troops have been doing & what they represent - then of course this guy will be hero to you - So you are the idiot - since all he was to you was a great Pilot - well No - He was a pawn in a machinery of Oppression - acting on orders of Oppression. Go and Read & Research.

  • @malcolmx28 Wow, what a great example of a delusional extremist you are, mate your never gonna win we will bomb the shit out of you and make conspiracy theories and then take all of your oil. You have no chance because your almighty imaginary friend in the sky IS NOT REAL! such a fool i can't believe how much of a twat you sound writing it here where you will get put the fuck down by the western beliefs, that is what rules the world not an imaginary bloke in the sky. get a grip!

  • @ollyolly85 You Fool - As it's evident you are Highly ignorant - Why don't you go and join the British Army and go to Libya or Afghanistan or Iraq - and become another pawn for a corporation of an Oil or Drugs Company. Maybe you might find Sadam's weapon's of mass destruction. You Muppet.

  • I watched these guys loads of times as a child and i loved it. Best pilots in the world. Amazing show EVERY time, and ALWAYS on time

  • He didn't want to die it's when he turned the edge something cut off leaveing him to crash land

    RIP flt lt egging

  • Any word yet to what has happened? Malfunction or human error? Thanks for sharing the video.

  • R.I.P

  • malcolmx28 I have been reading your comments and am amazed at how offensive uve made them, I know that the British empire was oppressive but it no longer exists, and this has nothing to do with the almighty or any other of ur extremest views, I'm not sure if u did this as a joke, if so it's not funny if not SHUT UP

  • This has nothing to do with race or religion or war this is about a man that has lost his life, all u people commenting with offensive things to say should just keep it to ur selves

  • i cant believe some people that even go on here,and would please keep your thoughts to yourselfs,yes these pilots entertain you lot week in week out.,make the most of them before the goverment put a stop to it, fantastic group of lads,hope they can find someone to replace jon,rest in piece,sad loss to the raf and us all.

  • By far the the best trained fighter and display pilots on earth.

  • R.I.P

  • R.I.P

  • I'm in the air cadets

  • Why are people using a display pilot's death as a reason to argue over war, religion and race? Have you lost your sanity and soul? A man has died in tragic, yet heroic circumstances - in steering his plane away from crowds, He had very little time to think at that speed, let alone eject. His wife is going to mourn him for a long time, his relatives and close friends will feel a great loss... I am human, who will join me??. RIP unknown friend

  • Your a wizard, Harry

  • They have just descoverd that there was no fault with the plane.. maybe the pilot did it on purpose... by accident if you now what i mean

  • @BBMxDyNaMiiKz No, please explain further

  • @TheGoodalpha maybe he thought he wanted to die but at the last minute not to it was too late to pull up so he ejected.. you would have thought he would of ejected b4 he did

  • beautiful. Karma

  • @KAzik10001 Death is in no way beautiful, it is the end of life on the earth plane my friend.... karma has nothing to do with the the pilots death - only in your head. However, your inhumane post and ill-meaning intentions may well have brought you karma.... and karma never gives you a fair warning..... So have a little think about that before you spread more evil around my friend. Atman and Brahma - as long as you're breathing it's never too late to learn and then change.

  • @TheGoodalpha RAF, those pilots have no conscience by bombing innocent civilians in libya. I don't feel bad he went down and died, not even for a second.

  • @KAzik10001 Why choose to fight over religion ? There is only one god, one creator, its just that different religions call the supreme being by a different name. Do you support dictatorships (Libya et al) and terrorism just because of a name? Consider this; you are travelling by plane with your loved ones and suddenly, you are all painfully vaporized by an on-board suicide bomber - you will never reach Jannah / heaven when you are at war with Allah/Buddah/God... RIP Sgt Egging

  • @TheGoodalpha Your first part of your comment seemed legit, but than you went to the stereotype. Suicide bombers, arabs are like scapegoats. They did nothing with 9/11, but no blame it on them and call them terrorists."Western Empire" is walking on thin ice, and will soon collapse with its actions, such as war in Iraq or Libya. That's why, I thing RAF pilots are simple monsters, yes they just do their orders, but if they don't feel no regrets for killing innocent children on the ground...

  • @KAzik10001 I may as well be talking to dried out sheep dung, so I am going to stop bothering. Goodbye

    RIP Sgt Egging

  • @TheGoodalpha how ironic , cause you seem like a sheep following propaganda and stereotypes, that government imposed.

  • FairPlay you are all a bunch of selfish idiots a man has died and all you can do is argue about his life you don't know the guy just shut up and respect the man RIP

  • R.I.P you are a true hero and will never be forgotten x

  • If all of our heroes in planes hadn't bombed libya for months the freedom fighters over there would be dead . RIP . You do the jobs most of us have not not the balls to do.

  • A true hero god bless Jon Egging R.I.P

  • I can't believe some of the comments on this video, the man, like all serving our country was extremely brave, not just as a red arrow pilot, they have to have been the best and done tours of duty to even apply for the honour of being a red. Some of the comments here have no relevance whatsoever and they should take them elsewhere. RIP.x

  • there was reports of a strange light on yahoo news i am guessing this light was a spark what more than likely turned into a electrical fire onboard underneath the plane witch you could not see but either way rip to this brave raf pilot

  • He refused to eject, he stayed in control till the very end. He was thoughtful and didn't eject because of the innocent citizens that he might have hit. He gave his life in saving others, he is a real hero, rest in peace sir.

  • RIP
