Aircraft Crash At Som West
Was not at work today, but heard via the grapevine that a light aircrft doing aerobatics over the Velgelegen area, broke up in flight and the 2 crew were killed on impact.
NO names yet, but it seems like the aircraft dep ex FASH, but was originally from George, with the owner on board and an SAA pilot with him.
Very distressing news - this is the second fatal accident in recent years in that area.
WIth som many experimental aircraft, aerobatic aircraft and ex-SAAF Harvards, never mind ThunderCity, one hopes that such accidents will not happen. BUt they seem to be a fact of life.
To the crew : RIP
