Glider Crash in Dusseldorf
I know, it is slightly out of date. But I had never seen this before and is quite amazing that the pilot survived.

That inverted pass :ooh::ooh::ooh:

That's an Lo-100 I think, recall a German pair displaying in formation at Biggin Hill several times in the 1980s - they finished with a low level inverted beat-up, but always landed safely!

Leaving the accident aside, it's the proximity to the crowd line and where the glider ends up, right in the middle of commercial airliners on the ramp, that's more, ahem, "interesting ".

I remember seeing photos of the aftermath in Larry Milberry's Sabre book: I didn't realise how impressive the display had been.

Sabres are Skylancers aerobatic team.
