Wasn't there just a Mig-23 crash at an airshow?   Both pilots ejected and the plane crashed into a parking lot?

That happened in Belleville, Michigan. (my home state.)

Be interesting to know what caused the crash. Given that the plane looked to be going pretty slow I guess engine failure of some kind.

No pilot. They ejected. Plane had no choice.  :D
