+Stary 2,427 Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) Just got news that two planes from polish "Żelazny" acrobatic group collided in air during Radom Airshow 2007, Poland. The pilots didn't make it. Hopefully no one on ground was harmed in the accident. Edited September 1, 2007 by CA_Stary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Stary 2,427 Posted September 1, 2007 One of the killed pilots (Col. Lech Marchelewski) was actually founder & leader of the "Żelazny" group, and, yes, it was planned as his last acrobatics show before retirement. They planned to show some extra features to the audience... Irony, isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nesher 628 Posted September 1, 2007 it is very ironic, a lot of times someone say "this is my last act" and they die doing it for the last time... :\ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Caveman 1 Posted September 1, 2007 did anyone catch that 3rd plane almost get hit as well... could have been much worse at least noone on the ground was hurt RIP <S> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Stary 2,427 Posted September 1, 2007 did anyone catch that 3rd plane almost get hit as well... could have been much worse at least noone on the ground was hurt RIP <S> Yes, on film it looks like he was about to catch debris, but to my understanding of the acreobatics presented, he was going away from the spot where the collision happened. Anyway good there were no three... And I was to be there on the ground but got sick... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
