The aircraft, which was destroyed upon impact, resulted in the complete loss of the $33.4 million aircraft. The pilot was able to safely eject and only suffered minor injuries. There were no fatalities or reported damage to civilian property.During the training flight, the pilot experienced a loss of thrust at low altitude and initiated corrective action procedures but was unable to regain sufficient thrust, according to the recently released Air Combat Command report.The planned mission was to perform a vertical loop followed by a barrel roll, with the pilot separating from the formation during the loops to rejoin during the rolls due to neck stiffness.As the pilot was rejoining the formation, the engine experienced a stall and “the jet just … stopped midair,” the pilot describes in the report. The pilot placed the engine control switch to its secondary control, causing the engine to “flameout”…
