Frecce Tricolori 71 + 1
Isn't this the same team that killed or burned those at the Ramstein AFB show several years ago? Frecce Tricolori needs to be disbanded and prevented from flying at any future airshow.
And now some idiots here in Italy want to cancel the Frecce because why not
Thats Great , But The Red Arrows , Didnt Kill 68 POEPLE ?
Tragic. Definitely out of energy as he banged out, nice anysis Tim. Prayers for all those affected
Andy Hill's 'thing' came immediately into my mind.
As an aside, if I may. I once did almost the complete opposite. Short finals into EGVN noticed a car and a lorry on the similar civvy road had hit head on with no sign of blue light activity. Called it in to ATC, who then did the 999 thing. Sadly, the car driver didn't survive.
Brize, of course, also has traffic lights on the civvy road. This coming together was about .5 mile north.
I guess that my point is the irony that had we been on short finals a few moments before or after they hit, said lights (at red) might have kept the vehicles apart.
My heart does, of course, go out to all involved here. Also, to the ground crew who serviced the jet and the seat.
Further mitigation. One wonders whether, 'run of the mill' non-display departures in good vis should be flown as singletons with normal T/O power. 3 sec sep or something? Armchair knackered old armchair pilot speaking here, using a retrospectoscope.
He was low, no room too maneuver, no speed, no options then to eject. Sadly with terrible concequences.
how the hell anyone in the car survived is a miracle
Tanta sfortuna e un destino atroce, niente da dire. Cinicamente aggiungerei che la legge di Murphy ha fatto il suo decorso.
Hi Tim, I was RAF police for twelve years (so no doubt you consider me pond scum), but we had to attend all fatal air incidents (in case they were crimes) and two incidents stick in mind to this day (I'm sixty now). They were an F-111 crew bailing out over Donna Nook and the Chinook crash at Machrihanish; the outcomes for aircrew can be catastrophic and they don't have control over the outcome. Mach was particularly upsetting for reasons I'd rather not repeat but it goes to show that however competent the pilot (s), fate sometimes intervenes.
The pilot should have landed in the field on the other side of the road.
Wow….excellent analysis….
Excellent video Tim. This was a superb commentary on a hugely tragic situation. The fact the car involved was shown in the video seconds before is, for me, the most upsetting aspect of this. I saw the team at RIAT a couple of years ago, and they are an excellent display team. I'm genuinely sad this has happened to them. I can't imagine the pain that the family, the pilot and the team are going through. Thanks for your analysis Tim. It is always a privilege to hear from someone in the military aviation world who, not only knows what they're talking about, but explains it in a sensible compassionate way.
The silver one at 2:37 was hit ?
If you watch the video you can hear a bang just before he starts dropping from the formation. Bird strike?
This absolutely heartbreaking in every possible way.
😢 sending my love to the pilot, his family, his fellow pilots, ground crew and everyone in the Italian Airforce. Sending my condolences to to the family of the little girl tragically killed and their son who has been badly injured. May God bless you all.
I love the Freece Tricolouri. They are my favourite display team. I was gutted that they weren't at RIAT this year
I think a good method to mitigate the risk would be to not take off in formation from a civilian airport, when they aren't doing a show (and in Turin airport there was no show indeed, they were going to another place something like 70 Km away… So what was the need to take off in formation, significantly increasing the risk???)
The Team had just Taken Off from Caselle airport to travel a few minutes to the city of Vercelli, where the show was going to take place. Logically, after this accident, the show was cancelled.
It would be insurance to build a small road tunnel where there are public roads at the end of runways. I've seen instances where traffic is stopped by MOD police while certain types of aircraft land. I do not think that it would be too expensive if this was gradually introduced across the World. But I can say for certain that it would eventually save a life.
Thank you for a considered and conserderate explanation. My dad was based at Farnborough as a medic. I'm filled with sorrow for the girl and her family, for the emergency services and for the pilot. The plane was going to stall and that close to the stall the pilot had run out of ability to influence the future trajectory of the plane, had he stayed onboard there would, in my opinion, have been one more fatality, the pilot. i hope that he survives his burns and he and the emergency service people get the mental health support they may well need.
all the best to the family i have no words to this
I cannot believe the Frecce Tricoleri have had an accident.
