Spanish Air Force EF-18 Hornet nearly crashed during show

Spanish Air Force EF-18 Hornet fighter jet had a close call at San Lorenzo Bay in northern Spain's Asturias. It was flying at a very low altitude towards the beach packed full of spectators, when it executed a hard right roll, descending lower than normal.
"Many of you have been asking us, so in this thread, we'll tell you what happened during the Gijon air festival. As you have seen, one of our F-18 fighters performed an evasive manoeuvre upon detecting a flock of birds in its path. This action is part of the standard protocol to preserve both the pilot's safety and the public's security," the post in Spanish said.
"Our aviators are trained to react in milliseconds to any unforeseen event. In this case, the pilot acted with exemplary speed and professionalism, avoiding a possible collision without compromising the exhibition. Safety is, and will continue to be, our top priority at every air show. Thank you to all attendees for your enthusiasm and trust. Let's keep flying together," it added.
