The aircraft flattened out initially, skidding over the ground towards stationary aircraft, striking a glancing blow against the nose of an Il-76 transport aircraft before beginning to explode and cartwheel into the crowd of spectators. 





Both pilots survived with minor injuries from the ejection and landed just a few feet away from the transport aircraft.
