Gerard's crash in SPn
Flying friends,
Regarding the causes of the crash, I saw enough at GROB this week end to be convinced of several points.
I won't leak anything here as the official inquiry will go on, but suffice to say that Gerard could not do anything, is not responsable for what happened and from incident to crash, I assume that less than 3 seconds elapsed.
Gerard impacted at around 300kts in a dive from 300/500 ft after the standard turn back to the airfield for hi speed pass. He had done this demo dozen of times and was always using same accurate pattern.
He was very right not to overfly any village...
Best regards,
Pierre
