Stunt pilots killed in Polish air crash


2nd September 2007, 4:42 WST


Two pilots were killed performing aerial acrobatics at an air show in Poland
on Saturday when their aircraft collided head-on in front of thousands of
spectators.

A Reuters photographer at the scene said the collision occurred after a
three-plane formation fanned out and two of the aircraft slammed into each
other as they attempted to re-converge.

The stricken planes plummeted towards a wooded area at the edge of the
airfield near the south-central town of Radom.

Pilots from 15 different countries were taking part in the air show which
was cancelled after the crash.
