Radom Air Show crash

Post by RipPipPip »

Sad news here from Poland:
yesterday, during Radom Air Show, two Zlins collided during aerobatic show, two pilots were killed:

The crash was between Zelazny group members, looks like 24-year old, "fresh" pilot made a slight mistake (nose down) and 62-year old solo performer (on the right, got to be his last show before retiring) could not make any avoidance maneuver ...
Zelazny Team was founded in 2000: http://www.airliners.net/search/photo.s ... entry=true

Two-day Radom Air Show was stopped immediately:
