Air France Flight 296 Crash

Date: June 26, 1988
Time: 14:45
Location: Habsheim, France
Operator: Air France
Flight number: 296Q
Route: Basel - Basel
AC type: Airbus A320-111
Aboard: 136 (passengers: 130, crew: 6)
Fatalities: 3 (passengers: 3, crew: 0)

Summary: The plane was scheduled to perform a series of fly-bys at an air show. The plane was to descend to 100 ft. altitude with landing gear and flaps extended. The automatic go-around protection was inhibited for the maneuver. During the maneuver, the plane descended thru 100 ft. to an altitude of 30 feet and hit trees at the end of the runway. The aircraft was totally destroyed by the successive impacts and violent fire which followed. The pilot allowed the aircraft to descend through 100 ft. at slow speed and maximum angle of attack and was late in applying go-around power. Unfamiliarity of the crew with the landing field and lack of planning for the flyby.

The trolls spamming these Airbus A320 crash sites know exactly what happened during this demonstration flight, they just enjoy insulting people, and talking shit.

The facts of this horrible accident are not in dispute.

This was Air France flight 296 departing from Basel, Switzerland, performing a low speed flyby at the Habsheim flying club airshow in June, 1988. There were 136 souls aboard with 3 tragic fatalities. Anyone saying different is merely a troll taking up valuable oxygen.

just ignore trolls who claim it was an empty plane - they know it was a manned flight & are just out to create trouble.
