Two stunt planes collided in midair on Sunday during an air show in the Portuguese city of Beja. According to the Portuguese Air Force (PAF), one of them crashed and exploded into flames, resulting in the killing of a Spanish pilot.
The PAF, which organised the show at an air base in Beja, 180 km south of Lisbon, said the accident involved aircraft from the YAK STARS aerobatic patrol. The patrol includes Portuguese and Spanish pilots and was described by the PAF as the “largest civilian aerobatic team in southern Europe”.
