Default Hahnweide day 4. Mid air collision, 3 pilots bailed out (all 3 are OK)


Information by competition management
Dienstag, 8. Mai 2018 - 19:01 Uhr

On the fourth day of the HWW18 an accident occurred near the Lochenstein south of Balingen. At 5.20 p.m. there has been a mid-air between double and single-seater. All three pilots were able to leave the aircraft with the rescue parachute. Afterwards, they were taken to a hospital for observation as a precaution, but they were able to leave already in the early evening.

The competition management decided to let the participants finish their tasks despite the accident to avoid a possible risk due to the expected high approach frequence after the race cancellation.

Best. Tom. #711.
