So over a few days we have lost a Blue Angel, a Thunderbird, a Russian Knight and now this.

For those of you who don’t read Dutch: The F-5 that landed was missing 70% of its righthand horizontal stabiliser. The other aircraft came down in a small lake while the pilot ended up in a glasshouse, he was transported to the local hospital and is doing well considering the circumstances.
