Sad accident of Swiss disabled pilot in Thailand


Excellent weather here today but a bizarre accident.I have flown from both airfields. He left Nok private airfield near Chiang Mai to fly to the Royal Thai Flying Club at Chonburi south of Bangkok. Just a few hours flying but he crashed on around 100 foot above the runway with a sudden left turn.Video shows a sudden controlled left turn before he hit cables 20ft agl.



Swiss disabled pilot Michael Charles Lomberg, 60, was flying one of three light aircraft belonging to a group of disability rights advocacy group called "Handiflight Around the World" lost his life today in a bizarre landing accident at Bang Phra,Chonburi.
