JohnT Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Looks like engine trouble and came down in a ditching. Sadly pilot dead http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-36404322 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloegin57 Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Nothing more to be said really, until the results of the Inquiry are published. My sympathies are with his family and friends. R.I.P. and Blue Skies Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzz Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Tragic, judging by the condition of the aircraft after it was lifted from the water the pilot has done a great job putting it down with the utmost skill and airmanship. Luck was just not on his side in the end😢 RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Indeed, reports indicate he was trying to climb out before it sank. Such a shame after a skillful landing. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessica Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 And also one of the Thunderbirds as well in a separate incident. The pilot got out to walk home from that one. It's just not a good day to be flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
