Malaysian Airshow Mid-Air Collision

[Changes in Latitudes]

All four pilots survived.

The event occurred as two of the team's KT-1 aircraft (similar to a Pilatus PC-9) were approaching each other head-on when they clipped wings, resulting in the rapid loss of control of both aircraft.

Hmmm, waste of airplanes. I don't care who is watching, why they are watching, or what they paid, I like to fly so as risk of collision with anything is as unlikely as possible! Call me an old pilot.....

Well, maybe you're a bit like me and have more to live for and less to prove than some. Waste of a nice aircraft for sure. Glad that this time it wasn't a waste of life though.

Fly safe

Wow, never heard of a KT-1 before. I would've thought that these were Pilatus PC-7s or PC-9s.

Why would they be flying maneuvers like that with two crew?

One to fly and one to read the paper checklist.

If you haven't heard OF them, you ought to HEAR them...they're loud, aggressive, and mean-scream-sounding.

Used to watch ROK Airforce in them for hours doing mock dog fights over Sacheon/Jinju airport in S Korea. I think they are manufactured right there also.

At least the two planes were going the same direction this time!
