Fatal Crash @ Formationflight

Yesterday we had a squadron-training for formationflight.

... with a fatal ending...

Three Pilots died by the causes of a fatal crash!

Two of them directly in the cockpit and one drowned in a river after a emergency landing.

We want to offer the families one's condolatory.

Accident details:

"Winnie" was coming to close to "Schnarre", so Schnarre's rotorblades killed Winnie in his cockpit.

Winnie's helo climbed with 90° and breaked.

The pilot in the formation behind Winnie crashed into the "out of control" helo and died directly.

Schnarre's Helo was damaged critically and had to emergence landing.

Sadly a river was in the way....

R.I.P o7

I assume there are 3 open slots in your squad now then?

You want to join? :smilewink:

Hm, on a second thought - I want to live a bit longer. :music_whistling:

Good choice :thumbup:

:megalol:

Ha ha, nice pics Dragon. One fatal accident on a 10 flight formation a few hours long isn`t that much.:)

Sadly a river was in the way....

Couldn`t he swim?:D

Couldn`t he swim?:D

The seatbelt won't open.

Ouch - that looks painful :crazy:

I think the pilots don't felt anything. The death comes to fast.

... that's what we told whose wifes...

I assume we see Schnarres helicopter at the bottom left of the first pic. 3 questions... (1) how can Schnarres helicopter-blades instantly kill a pilot in another copter and after this crash we saw (nearly?) intact blades (all lower rotortiplights were on = at least all lower rotorblades were intact)? (2) what were Schnarres problems after the crash? Heli out of control, engineproblems? (3) he was ca. 150 m(?) above ground so he had a little bit time to decide what to do and what not. Why he didn't used the ejection-seat? Are these questions already answered?

Think as the Klingons do: They died as heroes and with honor. Rust in Peace.

And for you: Live long and prosper.:inv:

I think we will need a long and costly Investigation Board to determine these answers...

Yeap, maybe the EASA has some spare time?:smartass:

The amount of property damage of ca. $ 36.000.000 alone should be enough to bring the EASA on the scene ... (:

(rough guess: cost of KA-50 = $ 12 million)

Hi zdXu:

Schnarre was the lead of the formation. You can see his helo in the 2nd and 5th picture.

One rotorblade was missing and his tail-fin too. The accidant happens at a speed of ca. 200 Km/h. Without the tail-fin his halo turned to the side. Schnarre tried to get control by decreasing speed. In this maneuver he had a rotorclash. Anyhow he don't crashed into the ground. He did a emergency landing successfully.... sadly in the river...

The helo turned upside down very quickly so a eject by the ejectseat wan't possible.

Think as the Klingons do: They died as heroes and with honor. Rust in Peace.

Think as the Klingons do:Today its a good day to die

Maan you have wasted so many Russian tax payers money :P

ohhh, ohhhh - this is a part of the trailer of "SAW 29" - Schnarre have to kill his wingmen with the rotor blades......

I can see that one coming :P:P:thumbup:
