@runthisshit8: A Spanish Air Force F/A-18 Hornet had a close call during an airshow over Gijón, Spain, on July 29, 2025. The fighter was flying at very low altitude toward the beach when it suddenly performed a sharp right roll, dipping close to the water before climbing away. According to the Spanish Air Force, the pilot carried out an evasive maneuver after detecting a flock of birds in the aircraft’s flight path. The Hornet recovered safely and continued away from the shoreline. Footage: izanbj74 / X #aviation #f18 #hornet #airshow #militaryaviation
