A Spanish EF-18 Hornet performing at an airshow over San Lorenzo Bay had a terrifying close call as it nearly crashed near a crowded beach. The jet dipped dangerously low before making a sharp evasive roll to avoid a flock of birds. Black smoke trailed the aircraft as stunned spectators captured the dramatic scene. The pilot’s swift reaction prevented a disaster, and the Spanish Air Force confirmed it was a standard evasive maneuver to prevent a fatal bird strike. Officials praised the move as quick-thinking and life-saving.
