Plane Loses Both Wings In Mid-Air............Why ?
My understanding is that this guy had been doing this for awhile. He
routinely over stressed the airframe until the eventually gave back. Lufthansi wrote: This happened on some Airshow in Asia. The Airplane last both wings in midair and consequently crashed. Maybe it did some aerobatic loops prior to wing-failure ? Check it out : http://www.jumpingpixels.com/aircraft2.html

He had been doing it for a while.
What was different this time was that a reporter did a TV story on him. He took the reporter up they taped some aerobatic maneuvers and an interview in flight, before the airshow. It was thought that the pilot may have pulled up harder this time because he knew it would be on TV. "Robert M. Gary" wrote in message ups.com...
