skyblu3 0 #1 September 14, 2006 I mentioned in an earlier post that I witnessed a crash at an Aero GP air show here in Malta. I also mentioned that I could'nt believe the pilot could survive bailing out at such low altitude. See the attached pic. To recap: 2 aircraft clipped each other the lower aircraft sliced the tail off of the higher aircraft. You can see the aircraft without its tail in the bottom right of the picture. The pilot of that plane tragically died as his aircraft nosed dived tailless into the water. The lower aircraft tried to regain stability but the pilot quickly gave up and bailed. You can see how low he jumped out. His canopy inflated as he touched the water. He was unhurt. To give you an idea of how lucky he was his aircraft hit the water about the same time he did. Quick reactions saved this guy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
