A pic or 2 in the link she was one of those lovely painted F-18's the Canadians are famed for!

Captain Brian "Boozer" Bews, the CF-18 Hornet demonstration pilot for the Canadian Forces, was performing a high alpha pass when the aircraft began to yaw right. At low speed, low altitude, he knew he didn't have many options so ejected. He has been transported to a local hospital. Credible ICAS members report he was conscious and did not have any injuries beyond lower back pain.

Again, its a hell of a good pic. So how many millions went down the drain there for the sake of an airshow ? Crazy stuff.
