That is the second a Spanish fighter jet was pressured to carry out an evasive manoeuvre throughout an air present in Gijon.
Video footage exhibits the Spanish F-18 fighter flying at a low altitude, when it instantly turns the wrong way up – avoiding a flock of birds and hurtling in direction of the ocean, earlier than flying away.
In a press release, the Spanish air drive mentioned “one in every of our F-18 fighter jets carried out an evasive manoeuvre upon detecting a flock of birds in its trajectory”.
“This motion is a part of routine protocols to protect the integrity of the pilot and the security of the viewers,” the assertion added.
