  • Mid-air Collision At Embry Riddle, Casualties.

    "We were just told two of our flight instructors were killed in a mid-air. This was at the Prescott campus.One of them was the chief flight instructor. The planes were decathlons, the only two we had. We only know they were flying in formation practicing aerobatics for an airshow. Today me and my roomate had gone at around 11 to the airport to get a ride on one of our planes but they told us to leave because the flight line was closed. When we got there we noticed all riddle planes were grounded, and the airport was really quiet."

    crap . I think it might be a little overkill though to shutdown the flight line, maybe they should make it so you can't do any formation flight instead. Sucks for all involved though Glad to hear your fellow jp.net members that go to ERAU weren't involved though.

                thats too bad.

                Here in DAB.. i've seen 5-6 ERAU aircraft formations. Its terrible that 2 went down out west. I was just telling some students to day that it's been nearly 10 years since ERAU's last fatality in the air... apparently that statement no longer holds true

                        How does an airline thats going bankrupt sign new regional carriers, launch a discount airline, purchase new planes, AND repaint their fleet? I dunno, ask United.
