The final flybys of MiG-23 'Flogger' 8107 at the 2023 Thunder Over Michigan airshow at Willow Run Airport in Belleville, MI.
This video contains footage from both the Saturday afternoon demonstration, the Sunday morning formation with two F-35Bs, and the final takeoff on Sunday afternoon. Sadly the aircraft crashed just seconds after the last flyby clip, but thankfully both crew were able to safely eject and no one on the ground was injured. The aircraft came down on a golf course and damaged some cars in a nearby parking lot.
We wish everyone involved a speedy and full recovery.

Sad to see such a beautiful bird go, but we should be very thankful those pilots made it out and no casualties occurred on the ground, keep in mind the MiG-23 was very close to hitting an apartment complex. It’s a miracle no casualties occurred from this.

I saw it happen, I was on the other side of the airport. Then we raced over to where it crashed and observed from the other side of the highway. And when I saw the flames I thought for sure the it hit the Building. The flames were so close. It is unbelievable how close the plane got.

He's not going to be hoping in another anytime soon. It's going to be a while with the FAA & NTSB anyways. He's a a retired Navy pilot, current commercial pilot and Desert Storm veteran. Those dudes are pretty squared away. He buys, sells, and flys old retired soviet jets as a side business. More than likely it was a loss of hydraulics or flight controls, otherwise he would have lined it up for the river before punching out to ensure it stays clear of the public. Thats not what happened, he certainly wouldn't have wanted it to go into a residential area lucky or not. Punch out and be able to explain it and hope for the best or ride it in and die with it.

2:19 The sound of an approaching Flogger... I remember it very well as I used to spend days in the area where Polish Floggers would do training flights. I loved to watch and hear them. It was in the early '90s in the northern Poland. No other aircraft would make the same howling-jet noise, neither the Fishbed, nor the Fulcrum. Perhaps the Fitter would come close in the terms of "cool sound".

The FAA already makes owning these old foreign warplanes or any old war bird very difficult and a hard process as does many of these alphabet letter gangs do for anyone and now they will probably make it even more difficult. Waiting to see what the cause of it end up being because the engine was still on when they ejected.
