A practice air display by a UK Royal Air Force Eurofighter Typhoon almost ended in disaster at the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford, when 29 Sqn’s pilot came within feet of the ground after performing a loop on 15 July. The RAF says a minor change was made to the routine before the pilot went on to perform three displays at the show on 17 July.
