failure. I have looked at the newspaper reports on this accident, but
they don't state which phase of flight the glider was in when it broke
To my knowledge, the Blanik was aerotowed to about 1200m AGL, from where
an aerobatics program was flown. The wing broke only after the
aerobatics had been finished. It was too low for the two pilots to bail out.
