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?

Peace to those they leave behind

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.

you are right
This was 6 airplanes team, while 3 of them where doing cross over pass, 3 of their friends where watching collision from air.
3rd plane from that video landed on the near by highway
Pilots who died was 62yo colonel Lech Marchelewski , Airline pilot, instructor, founder and leader of the team. 4900 hours in air. He flew as number 1.
It supose to be hist last show, he was going to retire.

what airplanes are they flying? watching some of the videos
not much left of plane #1 after the impact, it looks like an Ultralight?
this kind of manoever happend in Rammstein too, just with more
planes but in the end it was similar planes coming in from 3 different
positions heading to arrive at one point, a.) in different altitudes or
b.) at a different time (seconds and less)
they knew the danger otherwise they would not fly this kind
of manoevers, but 24 years old... thats to young to die...
R.I.P.

Ghost, airplanes with a combined impact speed in excess of 300 to 400 MPH, what do you expect? They may be rated for G's but not impact, no aircraft is.
You want a good exercise in it? Do a force equation on it. See what the huge ft lb numbers are.

Actually, that is not only kind of funny, it is ****ing hillarious.

They are actually flying Zlin Akrobats (Z-526) or Trener Masters (Z-326, two-seater version of the Akrobat), the wings are significantly different from the Z-50 (flown the three types).

Z-526

Z-50L
Formation leader died in what was to be his last performance, and the squadron had already lost two pilots in another airshow two years before.
Hard to know what happened... the Akrobat has superb forward-vision, as it flies with a marked nose-down attitude when in level flight... miscalculation is my bet.

Cyrano, don't spread gossips please.
In 2003, 2 members of team went for multi engine flight training, one of them was instructor for multi , second was taking lesson.
They crash in Morava couple miles from airfield.
It was not airshow, just training flight
-
My apologies, I read it on a news site.

very tragic. you can actually see the pilot being propelled free from the debri of the most distant plane, aft of the engine mass.
-
Jeez. Very tragic. That shot is unbelievable. I had to look at it several times but it does look like a pilot being ejected on the left plane. Whats wierd is that picture of a skull looking back at you on the right plane. In the center of the wreckage. I dont know, I just watched the ghost thread. Still very tragic.
