All-

I've seen some conflicting reports. Is Red 7 down again? Looks to have belly landed in a corn field or similar and sheered off the prop blades. Can anyone confirm?

It has had an accident. It has bent one of the undercarriage legs and bent a wing tip. No damage to props.

The photo of the broken props on belly is from 2013 when they had to make an emergency landing after the engine failed during acrobatics. As said above, the current reports are that the current incident damaged a wingtip and landing gear leg.

The good news is that there's a place in Germany that makes new parts!
