Looks like the pilot was practicing for an aerial demonstration, maybe for an upcoming airshow.  Any idea whose a/c that was, and where/when it crashed?

Thanks Walks.  Here's the story.

Reminds me of the Thunderbirds F-16 mishap at Mountain Home back in 2003. In both cases, the mishap pilot had insufficient altitude to recover, although the Thunderbird pilot ejected successfully.  Here's a recreation of that mishap.
