The pilot looks to be trying to steer it back towards the pursuing jets, who have shot past, not expecting their quarry to slow down.  But something seems to go horribly wrong, as the jet, instead of picking up altitude, instead slowly banks to the left and then hits the ground.  Moments before it does, the pilot can be seen jumping out of the jet, but what happens to them is masked by the impressive explosion and fireball as the jet carves its way into the grassy plain.
