Wow. It looks as though someone simply filmed in on a HD camera and then cut out the still shot. That's quite impressive. Haha. Wow.

As both an aviation and photography nut, I love this story. I've watched the videos of this crash on YouTube hundreds of times. Ejecting 8/10's of a second before impact is what I call lucky!

From the picture it looks as if he's directly in the flight (or slide) path of the airplane. By the way, take it from an old F80 pilot who lives in Colorado: if you try to fly around ANY part of Colorado at 2000 feet above sea level you'll be flying underground.
