Aol has some stills of it. Its crazy how many crashes there has been this year.

Last nights news showed the crash video.. pretty gruesome footage

That's some of the worst footage I've ever seen. My thoughts are with the pilots, their families, their friends and anyone that had to witness that at the airshow. I'm shook up after seeing that video, I can't describe how I'd feel if I witnessed it in person.

Though they also fly Zlin 50s, I believe both accident aircraft were Zlin 526s. The 3rd (surviving) plane is definitely a Zlin 526A.

Very said. An identical accident to the one that took Bobby Younkin and Jimmy Franklin a couple of years ago.

Very sad.... It reminded me of the horrific crash of the Italian team at Ramstein in 88....Terrible loss of aircraft and lives...

I know the video is really graphic. You can see the pilot being ejected from the crash and the sound, is just heart stopping.

My prayers are with them and their families.

Yes, you can see it.

If you look at it frame by frame by using Adobe Premeire, like when I look at crashes to investigate, you can see the pilot being ejected from left to right in the aircraft that filmed spining to the ground.

It is just terribile to have that on the internet.

Why on earth would you want to do a thing like that?

I use it in investigating aircraft crashes when it is on video.

I use it in the analysis sense, not in the sense that I just want to see it.
