Description

During the Air Show in Radom (Poland) in 2007, three Zlin Z-526 aircraft from the AZL ?elazny aerobatics team were performing their display. One manoeuver involved the three aircraft simultaneously flying toward a central point from different directions. Two of the aircrafts struck each other at right angles, destroying both aircraft and killing both pilots, Lt. Col. Lech Marchlewski, founder of "Grupa Akrobacyjna ?elazny", and a young pilot, Piotr Banachowicz. For Marchelewski it was supposed to be a farewell to the audience.
