Air Race Crash

September 13 2007. Vidoe taken just seconds after an L-39 aircraft racing in the jet class at the 2007 Reno Air Races. The Aircraft seemed to have lost directional control as it rolled inward to the course (left) all the way to the ground. Impacing the ground just left of the 8-26 runway at Reno/Stead airport, speading depbris a courter mile down the runway. our thoughts are with the familiy of the pilot of the aircraft who unmistakable did not survive.

RIP Brad...

[angelcruz373]

you're an asshole. he wasn't trying to sound like an expert. he was trying to explain it the best he could. i'm a pilot, and if you're one, you know that he's actually right.

then why the hell did he pull? look pilots make mistakes....I know I can at any time myself. I am certainly not an idiot. AND I AM RIGHT WITH MY ASSESSMENT. This is a public arena...not a private home....get over your egomaniacal self!!

[laurajorgensen]

you are an idiot!. Brad was an awsome pilot, other videos not viewed by the public, have given better insight to what happened. You should really have a little more sensitivity for the family friends reading your posts.

[Whiney8YearOld]

your both morons.....he killed himself by pulling into the ground. he should have pushed....pilot error. and YES, you can correct that fast......so that is just bullshit. He hung in the air for a second or two inverted and then pulled himself right into the ground. end of story. he majorly effed up.

[Whiney8YearOld]

If you look up and see ground you PUSH!! no if and or butts!! which is against every instinct we have. But a little experience on his part would have made this a non-event. to bad.

[Whiney8YearOld]

Bullshit!!!! this was not caused by wake turbulence!! that was a secondary causal factor at best.

This is pilot error....Brad Effed up. sure the wake turbulence turned him upside down...no big.....PUSH!!! Push hard...Brad would still be here. He pulled right into the ground killing himself. Lack of real aerobatic experience is what killed brad....not the wake turbulence. sad for sure.

piece out.

this sort of thing is not to be posted to Youtube... remember the families of the pilots in posting anything like this. Very bad. very
