Major Maciej "SLAB" Krakowian was piloting an F-16 jet in the Polish city of Radom when the accident happened on Thursday.
The plane had been practicing a loop-the-loop for the Radom Air Show, which has since been cancelled due to the incident.
Dramatic footage of the crash showed a fireball erupting as the plane hit the ground, before the burning wreckage skidded nearly 60 metres along the runway.
