Well a swedish JAS 39 Gripen crashed the other day, luckily the pilot managed to eject and it was over unpopulated areas so no one got hurt, apperently the ejector seat malfunctioned and sipliy ejected him

That's what actually happened at the 1988 Ramstein Air Show, when the Frecce Tricolori solo hit the 1st wingman's plane, and then crashed into the crowd. Then the 1st wingman's plane hit the leader's plane, and they both crashed on the runway.

For me it would be Alpha 1 (me) taking on  a fleet of satheni with GTVA's combined forces in one last strougle for humanity right after watching BSG seson 10 on my HDhDHDHVHDVHD TVtube.
