This was sent to me by several people, but Scott McGowin provided a link to photos and a video on AVWeb:

Verbatim Paris 1989. Same direction, same altitude, same engine, same desperate rudder input, same results!
I wish I had the equipment to overlay this film with the film of the MiG at Paris.

The popping sounds like an engine stall...

Amazing the pilot made it out in time...
