Thumbs down

That is confirmed!

Right after take off a light airplane, with isntructor and student pilot on board, crashed on the 'Diksmuidelaan' right behind the runway.
Whitnesses stated that the airplane just came down without any visual signs of fire or whatsoever.

The plane crashed on a car and immediatly bursted out in flames. The two occupants where killed in the crash!!!

The cause of the crash has yet to be determined.

The instructor was a friend of mine with whom I followed the SABENA training to become a linepilot back in 1996. He was a well trained and very professional pilot, actually flying for SNBA on RJ85/100! This is a GREAT loss.....

My condolences go out to their families and everyone involved....
