  • Vintage fighter in fatal British air show crash

    A T.7 Hawker Hunter has crashed today at Shoreham air show on the south coast of England. At the time of writing there were 7 fatalities. The Hunter failed to pull out of a loop in time and plowed into cars on a highway.

    Shoreham is a familiar GA destination. It was my first solo cross country destination when qualifying as a pilot in the 1980s. OrbX supplies special scenery for the airport. Air shows at Shoreham are very popular events.
