I posted some details on the History thread, as I was on the Shoreham thread when I learned about it: http://forum.keypublishing.com/showthread.php?136128-Grasshoppers-team-crash-in-Switzerland

It was a formation of Ikarus C-42 from the German Grasshoppers formation team. Very, very sad. What a bad weekend after the Shoreham disaster. My thoughts go out to all involved.
