Para drop flight accident
At approx 14.00 local, Sunday 18th February 2024, near "Flugplatz Grenchen" (Kanton Solothun, Switzerland) a "passenger aircraft" (per local newspaper reports) crashed just outside the airfield. Apparently carrying 13 parachutists, when the pilot realised the a/c was in difficulties (unspecified), he told all pax to bail out, which they all did, all landing safely.
The aircraft type is not reported, neither is the pilot's name. The pilot died in the accident. From published photos of the wreckage I cannot identify the a/c type. The pilot has not yet been named though I KNOW (for sure) who he was (I am related to him by marriage and was informed by my wife's sister early this morning).
Any more HARD information much appreciated. Thanks in advance
