Mfezi Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 That's tough.. Russian seems to be going through a string of accidents lately. Not just them: This past weekend there was a fatal Gnat crash in Cheshire and a Spitfire crashed at Biggin Hill. It seems worldwide it was just one of those bad weekends for airshows.

Flankerman Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 .... and a few days before that an Embraer Phenom executive jet crashed at Blackbushe - with members of Osama Bin Laden's family aboard..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-33745057 Condolences to all the relatives and families involved - in all the recent crashes.

ross blackford Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 A horror weekend for the aviation world; three fatals and a valuable Spitfire damaged. At least the Spitfire's pilot is still alive. Aviation is a dangerous and risky business so let's hope and pray that all involved never forget the dangers and risks and endeavour to minimise the risks and be ever mindful of the dangers. Cheers, Ross. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
