Tragedy at airshow in canada

The tragedy ended one of the performances at the air show in Canada. Pilot Bruce Evans, piloting the T-28 Trojan plane, performed the aerobatics - the “loop of Nesterov”. As a result, the pilot lost the ability to control the aircraft, and he collapsed to the ground a few dozen meters from the territory in which the spectators were located. The pilot died.

According to the latest data, there are no victims or damages on earth.

TV channel CBCNews reports that Bruce Evans was an experienced pilot. His flight time was more than 4 thousand hours.

An investigation team is working at the crash site that will determine the causes of the plane crash. According to one version, a pilot could have health problems while performing aerobatics. A check is being conducted on whether a medical examination of an 59-year-old pilot was conducted according to all the rules.

For reference: Cold Lake Air Show is held annually in the Canadian province of Alberta. Aerobatic teams and individual pilots are invited not only from Canada, but also from other countries of the world.

It is known that Evans was an amateur pilot. His profession is a geologist, but this did not prevent him from improving his piloting skills for light-engined airplanes for many years, starting from a young age. In 2007, he purchased the T-28 Trojan plane, on which he performed aerobatics in front of the audience.

A young man, in order to troll smartly, you need to turn his head at least a little bit. And here I am already observing in my second topic just verbal diarrhea. Apparently, as you say, you live through, excuse me, ass.
Regarding the article ... The pilot is simply a lover of the sky, not a combat pilot. He took the plane away from the crowd, honor and praise to him.
I am sorry for his family and friends.

[Aleksandr1959]

By the way, there is something to discuss. For example, compare with the case at a show in Ukraine in 2002

The soundtrack is a mistake - the Su-27 is named Su-17.
And the scariest shots are not shown (however, those who wish can find them on the same You Tube). The pilot of the Su-27 was Vladimir Toponar, a former test pilot of 929 GLITs, who in 1992 switched to the Armed Forces.

That's right! What is there to discuss? Tragedy! Just a tragedy for his family and loved ones

[theadenter]

Cynicism is out of place here. This is not a combat unit, but a pilot from an aerobatic team. He does shows for people, not drops bombs.

Land down to the pilot.

[siberalt]

And what is the tragedy, if this show? Spectators were not injured. Woe to the family of the deceased pilot. But that was his choice.

[theadenter]

His choice was to entertain people with an air show, and not die.

[siberalt]

If you don't want to die - "don't go for a walk in Africa." If you want to be a military man, be ready for that by following the order. Or is it not clear already?
The point is that there are incidents, accidents with victims, TRAGEDY is originally a theater genre, subsequently transferred to literature. Now she is a metaphor for cunning journalists. Tragedy can be played out or end with it, even if played by nature. Show with an accident and no more, from the incident section. Tragedy could have happened if the plane crashed into the audience (God forbid). Why is it incomprehensible, gentlemen, minusculeers for Canadians survivors?

Dear, you can be rude to watch. On your other positive actions, I have deep doubts.
And the fact that the deceased "ace" was chopping money on a show in Canada is their business.
In my post, I did not gloat, but expressed my opinion FACT.
And the fact that the minded minus, so is also their business, and their relationship to what is happening.
Adieu.

Support.
When living women, old people and children were bombed from the air in Lugansk and Slavyansk, Canada did not call this a tragedy. They were silent, but mocked at Ukrainian sites. I wrote that the death of a pilot is a grief for the family. Or is it a world tragedy? Why put a teardrop on display? Note weepers, damn it! Maxim died and to hell with him! Who is he to you? Ordinary NATO.

[igorka357]

Why did you get the idea that they were silent, ordinary Canadian residents, I think they also discussed on their Canadian military surveys .. chaos in Ukraine, and condemned not only the Russians! There were both those and those! Che you divorced here is not clear !!!

[prorab_ak]

And you worry a lot about the people, for example, Uganda or Zaire, and there, after all, the war went on and on? Otherwise, type in YouTube, there are many "colorful" videos as people are cut to pieces with knives. Something I do not remember on this site a single article about these events, and even more so your emotional comments.
So why should Canadians shed tears about "some" Ukrainians on the other half of the globe? And what about the abuse ... one could, of course, ask for prooflinks in the studio, but what's the point))
Well, in general, if there really is such a stubborn thinking, then I sincerely sympathize, if another kremlebot, then ask the administration of the site for money for courses of "competent" propaganda

[igorka357]

Who did you address this opus to?

[prorab_ak]

not to you, of course, but to Comrade Marshal ... and why an opus?

[gladcu2]

prorab

Speak reasonably. Canadians have enough of their everyday problems. And what is in Ukraine is their problems. How and why these problems arose, everyone has their own opinion. Over in Alberta due to the decline in oil prices with job problems. There is nothing to pay for housing. And he doesn’t ask the bank if you have money or not. The monthly payment was not paid and ALL of your savings in things were taken out onto the street. You are nobody.

And what is there somewhere. So far away. This is not cynical. This is materialistic.

The article, as I understand it, is simply that not everyone is doing smoothly. Sorry for the pilot, no doubt, but the question is that if this happens in Russia, the whole west openly gloats.

At the expense of the whole West, you greatly exaggerate. Mocking someone else’s grief, it’s not human at all, but there are enough nasty people in the West and the East. Here is an example for you - a deputy of the Rostov City Duma Anatoly Kotlyarov on a Facebook page published a caricature of the events in Nice (France), where more than 80 people died and several dozen more were injured in the attack.

Here, in case of accidents, our pilots try to take the plane away from settlements and from people, until the last they do it, but I have not heard that Western pilots at the cost of life tried to take the plane away from people.

[Stas57]

I didn’t hear, it doesn’t mean

The spokesman for the aerobatic team, Christopher Hammond, noted that the pilot was preparing to land, turned off the engine when an “incident” occurred, and the pilot reported on radio communications about problems with the aircraft and that he was about to eject. Malfunctions arose when the pilot flew over the populated areas on the way to the airport, 25 km from Peterson Air Base.

“He made all kinds of attempts to maneuver so as to divert the plane from the population,” Hammond explained.



According to eyewitnesses, the plane crashed into the field, there were no casualties and casualties on the ground. It is noted that, despite the fact that the pilot had to eject, he managed to land the plane intact. As explained by the press secretary of the Peterson air base, Jeff Bon, the speed was low and the plane before the crash was close to the ground, pressed into the soil, slipped a little on the ground, but remained intact.




On the same day, a plane crash occurred in another American state, and as a result of which the pilot was unable to escape. In the city of Smyrna, Tennessee, the F / A-18 aircraft of the United States Naval Air Force Blue Angels crashed. He piloted a car, which, according to American media, also had tail number 6, a naval pilot, captain Jeff Kuss. It is reported that Kuss joined the Blue Angels air group in the 2014 year, from the naval aviation he was commissioned in the 2006 year, he had a 1,4 flight of thousands of hours and served in Afghanistan, and was awarded medals.


Mayor Harry Gill emphasized that it was thanks to the pilot that none of the citizens on earth was injured.

Blue Angels preparing for a performance at an air show. The incident occurred during training flights. After the falling plane hid behind the trees, eyewitnesses saw a large fire from behind the forest. However, they say that ten minutes after the accident a small thunderstorm started, but there was no rain during the crash of the plane.

The country. Not so long ago.
On August 16, 2009 in the city of Zhukovsky near Moscow, during rehearsals before MAKS-2009, Su-27 and Su-27UB fighters of the Russian Knights aerobatic team collided. In the collision, the commander of the “Russian Knights” Igor Tkachenko, who was at the helm of the Su-27UB; the co-pilot of the Su-27UB, as well as the pilot of the second aircraft were injured, but were able to eject. Both aircraft crashed to the ground; as a result of the fall of the Su-27UB to a nearby summer cottage village and the fire caused by it, five people received injuries of varying severity; one woman died in a hospital from burns.

In the GSVG in the eighties. I don’t remember. Drying or Mig. When taking off the engine pompanul-pilot immediately ejected.

On July 4, 1989, the MiG-23M, flight number 29, which belonged to the 871th fighter aviation Pomeranian Red Banner Regiment, piloted by the head of the political department of the 239th fighter aviation division, Colonel Skuridin, took off from Kolobrzeg airfield (Poland). The fighter was armed with 260 rounds of ammunition for the onboard 23 mm gun. At the 41st second of the flight, there was a sudden decrease in engine speed, the pilot noted a pop in the left air intake, a drop in thrust and a decrease in the aircraft. Skuridin took the accidental shutdown of the afterburner as a stop of the engine, informed the flight manager of his decision to eject and, after receiving the appropriate command, ejected. The fighter stopped the decline, went into horizontal flight and disappeared from sight. The flight was carried out on autopilot, and after the engine revs were restored, the aircraft was automatically transferred to climb and automatically continued flying westward. A friend or foe identification system has been enabled; the plane flew unhindered over the territory of the Warsaw Pact countries - Poland and East Germany. When he crossed the border between the two Germanys, two F-15 Eagle fighters of the 32nd US Air Force tactical fighter squadron, piloted by captain J. D. JD Martin and Bill Murphy, were intercepted from Susterberg air base (Netherlands). At 10:05, both F-15s intercepted the intruder. Having convinced (not at the first attempt) the dispatcher that they were observing a Soviet fighter without a pilot and with a torn cockpit light, the pilots were ordered to shoot down the MiG only as a last resort. The plane flew over densely populated areas, and it was impossible to predict where it could fall from such a great height. Accompanied by both F-15s, the MiG-23M flew over Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and was already approaching France and the city of Lille. American pilots decided to shoot down the plane if it became clear that he could reach Lille, but this was not required: just at that moment he ran out of fuel and began to gradually lose altitude. At 10:37 CET, a fighter plane fell on a farm building in the Belgian village of Bellegem near Kortrijk, killing a civilian in his own home.
Belgium and the Netherlands sent protest notes to the USSR in connection with the fighter’s flight and catastrophe, however, thanks to the warming relations between the two blocs, the situation was resolved quickly and painlessly. Igor Skuridin expressed his condolences to the family of the deceased. The USSR paid Belgium compensation for the destruction of $ 685.

Personally, when you encounter them in battle, you will be unpleasantly surprised, and they have heroes covering grenades and rescuing comrades!

[Orionvit]

There are heroes in all armies, no doubt, but only a few. But such mass heroism as the Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War, There was no where. Of the opponents, only the Germans fought with dignity, the rest, and the allies, including, by and large, are not opponents. Heroism as a concept is not part of the ideology of Western armies.

To spin aerobatics at 59 - it seems to me that this is too much. Well, okay, one in the zone - and so he could beat the people ...

[Abbra]

This thing is an American piston training aircraft. He made his first flight on September 24, 1949. Serially produced in 1950-1957 (1948 vehicles were produced), until the 1980s the US Air Force and Navy were used for basic training of pilots. Successfully used as a light attack aircraft during the Vietnam War and in Laos ... Has a resource been developed, or what? Of course, sorry for the pilot.

In the same United States very carefully and reverently treat the old aircraft of the Second World War and the Cold War. And not only their own production, but also their opponents. In addition to fairly fresh samples, in the hands of private owners there are replicas of newly built or carefully restored planes of the 30-40s. At aviation festivals and exhibitions, such Soviet rarities as I-15, I-153, I-16, Po-2, Yak-3 and Yak-9U are regularly shown. According to the register of the Federal Aviation Administration, in the private hands in the United States there are about 600 units of aircraft manufactured in the USSR and Eastern Europe. This list includes only equipment with valid certificates of airworthiness, and it does not include hundreds of museum exhibits, combat aircraft and helicopters belonging to the Air Force and Navy, as well as non-flying specimens rusting at various airfields. The leader is the piston Yak-52, of which there are 176 aircraft.

It’s a pity the pilot, but at this age, flying, even if your health is excellent, you need to be careful.

[sergey2017]

The permissible overload for civilian aircraft is up to 2,5 g. Experts have found that the pilot of a sports aircraft experiences overloads from −7 to +12 g when performing aerobatics. You exclude all possible versions of what happened, including the state of health of the pilot at the age of 59!
