Saw this one on Military.com today. Not really sure when this happened, but the video does give you a nice little introduction to the incident and there's a narration by the pilot himself. This is one lucky joystick jockey who probably had to wash out his G-suit after this incident.
Oh yeah, if you actually listen to the background music, you'll find that it's pretty amusing as well.

Guy was flying way too low -- the kind of low where you end up dying in video games. Everybody knows you have to stay away from buildings, mountains.. the ground.
At the end of the video you can see the engine exhaust nozzle, identifying it as a Pratt&Whitney F100-PW
I'm not sure why he'd have to wash out his G-suit, since there's no "seat of the pants" in a G-suit. His flightsuit, on the other hand, might have been in need of cleaning. It never ceases to amaze me how many "experts" don't know the difference between a flightsuit and a G-suit. If you start out buck naked and then put on just a G-suit, you'll be as bare-assed as if you were wearing a cowboy's chaps.
