Just heard from a friend at Geneva airport that yesterday afternoon, 24/9/09, T6G HB-RCN collided with a “Follow me” car after landing for the annual “Classics” show. I saw it fly over my house on its way there.
It seems the car stopped but the T6 did not.
Apparently not too much damage, essentially prop and maybe engine.
I shall be over there this afternoon, so will find out more.
Promises to be a good show: so far I have seen a formation of Swiss Air Force on their way: Vampire, Venom, Hunter, Mirage, F5, FA18, and a Pilatus P-3, plus reportedly Storch, Bücker 131, MS460, Pilatus PC-6, 7, 9, 21, and an L-5 Sentinel already arrived. There will be others arriving this morning.
