Classic British Flight Sim

Oh that is very sad... (First fatality with a Reds Hawk aswell - last in 1978.)

But as said, in his professionalism, he stayed with it to ensure it hit no buildings/people.

A black day for the Arrows, but under the circumstances, no other outcombe possible, I guess...

Extremely sad news, thoughts and prayers with him and his family and the team.

A sad day...

Hi Joe

Neither of those links work....says broken but might be an area thingy??

Very sad news.

My thoughts are with family and friends, and the Red Arrows team.

Hi Garry

Sorry about the links not working, they work when I click on them coming back to read the responses ...

The 737 was down in Canada 12 dead. And the air sow incident happened in Kansas USA ..a aerobic high performance biplane. The piolt failed to recover out of a dive.

Cheers Joe..no worries

It could be an area thing so there will be folks that can see them

The Airshow was a modified Pitts Special and there was another couple of airshow crashes in the States yesterday in addition to these and one in Russia.

All a part from the 737 were in giving aerobatic displays

Sad to hear about this. Video seems to indicate pilot incapacitation of some sort, similar to what happened to the Blue Angels loss recently and I'm pretty sure there was another recent jet loss due to GLOC or other related incapacitation.

One question asked over in WIX that you guys might be able to answer is do the Reds wear G-Suits? The Blue Angels don't and that was a contributing factor to their accident.

Hi Chris,

Yes they do wear g suits.

Cheers
