Hi,
Said DAK approached for an airshow at FANS. Being very precautionary due to field limitations and a preceding incident, the commander happened to land a little short....tragically.
On board, Parabats, tried to rectify/right nose heavy stance this accident left the plane standing. They, on three, ran backwards in order to right the plane, but in that effort, wrote it off!
These accident and incident on that day, if memory fails, but sure, as always, papers may be lot more patient.
Remember, it was an accident, like so may other...and the bats thought they may be doing something right, at that moment.
Agree, he was a hero that day in respect of his wife. Good luck, please tell us, should anyone of his family still be alive today, sure someone has info if you so desperately need it.
Brgds

Edited to say: I think the hero lost an arm that day if I'm not mistaking...
