Airshow accident in Poland
« on: September 01, 2007, 01:06:21 PM »
Two polish pilots of the Zelazny group were killed in an accident during a demonstration in Radom, Poland. The cause for the accident is officially not yet known but it looks like simple human error.

Does anyone have a copy of that video from a clean site? That one is full of double click active x programs.


Back to the thread. What maneuver were the planes doing at the time of the collision?

Looked to me they were doing a cross over pass after coming out of a loop from 3 diferent directions. Right before the collision one of the planes left wing dips a bit and the nose pushes over. It almost looks like the pilot saw the collision coming and tried to manuver clear but didn't have enough time.

Pretty sad to see something like that happen.
