Grasshoppers team crash in Switzerland

News is coming in that one pilot died when 2 out of 3 ultralights collided at a show in Dittingen, near Basle, this morning. One pilot is said to have “ejected”, which could mean used a pyrotechnic parachute system.
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.

This accident involved one aircraft crashing on farm buildings, but there are no reports so far of any associated injuries.
