Today on the airshow at polish Radom crashed belorussian Su-27. Two pilots (very high qualification) turned the plane away from people on ground.

It`s reported that a bird got into a air intake, altitude was about 200-300 m. Pilots almost ended looping the loop
Unfortunately pilots did not manage to eject and died.

:(

Luck has abandoned Radom show for sure... Two Belarussian pilots died this year, two pilots from Polish Flight Group ZELAZNY died two years ago during same show...

Rest In Peace
