Rest easy, Slab. A commemorative poster I made.

I met him at an airshow in Albert, France last week he was awesome and nice, loved his flying, they had a booth for the Polish Tigers and a Polish C130 too. Breaks my heart to lose him 😢

RIP. He wasn't that old (I'm a year younger so I think we're all kids still).

I take solace knowing that he died doing what he loved the most and he left this planet a better place.

How did he earn the name ‘Slab’ and what does it mean?

It’s been an honor for you to make a poster for “Slab.”

I don't use the deaths of others to jump on the RIP bandwagon.

Alright. Fine. I will delete my criticism. Sorry for your deeply felt loss.

I ve never seen any airshow where aircraft were doing loops with afterburner …wonder why he did it…any particular reason? Its not that he was trying to pull up. In the video he clearly had afterburner on at the top of the loop.

That's what was on my armchair pylote mind all day, but from what I've read from actual pilots' comments, there are certain parameters where you need the afterburner to negate the extra drag at high AOA, resulting in overall tighter loop.

Highly unintuitive - been thinking about it all day and even made some simulations in DCS.
