RIP to our fellow aviators.
Living within the circuit of Ards airfield (EGAD), it is always nice to see the variety of aircraft coming and going.
Sadly last night we lost another.
Facebook has 2 interesting videos. The first taken from dashcam footage appears to show what appears to be an engine failure after take off, followed by the pilot doing the 'impossible turn' in faint hopes of trying to make it back to the airfield. As we now know, his attempt was not successful.
The second clip was from drone footage after the incident with emergency services on scene. This showed a very small impact area suggesting a near vertical impact.
Prayers to the families of those that perished.
Blue skies forever
