🙁
Not good, but seeing the crash I was stunned to see the other pilot managed to ditch alongside the crowd line, talk about nowhere to put it down, he was very very lucky.

Very sad 🙁
Looks like the exit from the mirror went very wrong, doesn’t seem to be a positive push to give separation from the aircraft below?
Looks like Luigi did a very good job in getting the aircraft down, damage to port wing must have made handling interesting.

Regrettably friends of a friend.
Luigi was the guy who put it into the surf and survived. Marco wasn’t so lucky.
The RV6 and 7 have a choice of sliding, or tip-up canopy. Having watched that, where he came in with the canopy open which is something you can’t do with a tip-up, I am glad mine’s a slider
