[Sami Virkkula 0]

An Italian air show plane crashed in Dubai on Friday after technical failure, Al Arabiya correspondent in Dubai reported.

 

The captain and the co-pilot successfully ejected and were recovered with minor injuries.

 

The correspondent quoted unnamed sources saying the airplane was flying to Saudi Arabia when it crashed into the water near Deira Palm island, which is still under construction.

 

The plane had taken part in the Dubai Airshow that closed its doors on Thursday.

Kone oli Aermacchi M346 suihkuharjoituskoneen prototyyppi, eikä esim. Frecce Tricolorin kone, kuten Samin linkin videosta voisi kuvitella:

Kas, Scramblen lokien mukaan samainen sininen nro "001" proto (C.P.X615 001 M346 Italian AF), joka kesän kierteli ympäri Eurooppaa.

 

Tässä "001" Puolassa elokuussa 2011 (kun tällä kertaa Radomissa ei tuhottu mitään isompaa)
