Hello, Went to Wings & Wheels today at Ursel Airbase. Some 30 aircraft were present including some nice ones  Photos now availble on westwings.fotopic.netUnfortunaly in the late afternoon 2 aircraft were involved in a accident while taxiing  . One pilot lost part of his arm and was transported to the hospital by helicopter. I haven't got any more details as I was already on my way home. Does somebody know which aircraft were involved? Greetz, Kristof |

The pilot wasn't transported to the hospital by helicopter but by the yellow ambulance, the planes involved were OO-PVI (the red plane) and a black plane but I can't read the reg (think it was N141JH) on my pic because the plane was hit on that place by the propellor of OO-PVI, both members of the Pitts

Thanks Bottie, Just seen it on TV myself, the black pitts is indeed N141JH. Greetz, Kristof aaah, that bunch of arrogant reporters who were nearly killing each other to get to that place ... luckily they didn't know that I took a picture 15 minutes after the accident ... and they 2 hours later Sad day for the organisation and the pilots who were involved ... |

Thanks  , to sad the media will 'promote' this accident on tv/newspapers , these kind of accidents will show to all non-aviation enthusiasts that our hobby is dangerous for everyone we already lost many good events , we don't need any more negative comments on our hobby  I have seen how our "beloved" reporters behave to get the scoop ... I've seen enough ... I just landed before the two pitts and that noise of a propeller cutting into a plane ... brrrr |

nice pics Fabke  here are mine: coppermine.airliners.be/thumbnails.php?album=22didn't make many pics because I spent almost 2h on the other side (Ursel Vliegclub), made a little flight with OO-FLM, and the 2 pitts landed just after us ... |
