Folks:
With the recent loss of the Hawker Hurricane, it seems like this year had more fatalities for airshow and RPA aircraft than prior years. Am I mistaken?? So far:
-RPA - 3 Yaks (non-airshow flight, 2 fatal, 1 injuries), and 2 L-39's (1at Reno, 1 at Tico)
-P-51 and P-51 copy (at OSH)
-Hawker Hurricane in England (Susex Airshow)
-three fatalities at Reno (two in addition to the L-39 above)
-US Navy Blue Angels - F-18
-Ziln Mid-air in Poland
-Pitts S2S at Dayton
-Experimental plane enroute OSH
-Canadian Forces Snowbirds - CT - 114 Tutor (seatbelt failure)
-SNJ-2 Geico Skytyper - NAS Oceana
This list seems like a lot to me, or am I just more in tune this year? My heart goes out to all the families and friends of the pilots of each of the planes above.
