Looks to me like he raised his gear too soon (maybe overrode the
weight-on-gear (WOG) switch that prevents the overeager from doing
such things on most fighters), and settled on his belly.

Do you know what happens to pilots who try to impress the camera crew,
waiting half way the runway for a spectacular take-off shot ? Well, look
for yourself at http://www.dappa.nl/crash.htm.

Don't worry about any blood stains or casualties, there is only going to be
material damage and a pilot with a severely brused ego.

For those who are interested, we are collecting aviation mishap, accident
and crash video footage for personal use. If you have another video clip for
us, or if you can point us in the right direction on where to find it, we
would appreciate to hear from you. Our address is .

Aviation minded greetings,
