Another crash at German airshow, Warngau, 18-09-2010

Post by frank kramer »

Saturday Sep. 18 saw another crash at a German airshow, this time at Warngau in the south of Germany. Two aerobatic aircraft collided during their routine; one of them crashed, killing the pilot. :cry: From the tiny pics I've seen so far it appears to be an Extra but that might be off the mark.

edit: Indeed Extra EA300S D-EXHO :( From the pictures of the collision (and especially the smoke trails of both aircraft) it would appear that the Extra was hit from behind by the other aircraft that exited a looping. This damaged the wing and the Extra went out of control.
