Time: approximatly 1218 hours
Location: McCoy Park aerodrome
Incident Details:
2 T-28 Trojans were involved in a mid air collision resulting in a near fatal crash of one of the planes, whilst the other managed to limp around and make an emergency landing, suffering damage to the leading edge of the left wing.
After the crashed aircraft was recovered and the pilot rescued from his shatterd cockpit, the black-box data was downloaded for analysis.
Preliminary findings seem to indicate both planes were attemting to occupy the same bit of air at the same time resulting in the collision. The black box data is being release to the public for comments.
First sighting of the on-comming plane
Very High closing speed means that neither pilot had a chance to react
About this time the pilot realised he was in real trouble
The moment just before impact
Finally, Impact.
Here is the complete video of the collision including the crash...
