Sad to report a Nanchang CJ-6 went down doing aeros off a Sydney northern beach today. Pilot killed. Looks like a new owner. RIP

This doesn’t help the “warbird” fraternity in Australia. Was reported on the news widely as a WW2 fighter then a “Zero”….

Public perception/the regulator/the insurance companies etc etc>>>>>>

I echo you sad new comment and really hate this so called “Stunt Pilot” tag that any accident involving a warbird seems to come with its so wrong.
