The Radom airshow will be remembered with mixed emotions.
It will primarily be remembered for the crash of yet another Su-
27, this time from the Belarus Air Foce. Unfortunately, it took the
life of two very proud aircrew, who did not eject after the aircraft
came out of a roll/loop manoeuvre. It is hard to understand why
this aircraft with such an enormous superiority in the air is now
rapidly also becoming the aircraft type with the worst airshow
safety record. The Belarus Air Force was quick to explain the
crash due to a bird strike. The plane crashed away from the
public in an unpopulated area.
Highlight of the show and at this moment of the year was by far
the appearance of the Belarus Air Force, which attracted many
foreign spotters to this hard to reach spot in Europe. Especially
the Su-24 has not been around the Airshow circuit for quite
some years! Another reason for visiting the show was the vast
array of aircraft types from Polish Forces which are rarely seen
in the west.
The static display consisted of one line of helicopters and smaller
aircraft with the bigger ones fenced off in the public area.
With many aircrew behind the fences with chairs supplied by
the organization, the static was hard to photograph properly. As
a result, even both static Belarus aircraft were hard-to-get. The
flying display was south of the crowd line, which also didn’t provide
the right setting for photography. Fortunately the spotters
packages gave ample opportunities to get operational aircraft
shots.
On Saturday the airshow was cancelled for the main part due
to the weather. The report is based on Saturday, with
some additions for the flypast that was performed by aircraft
that (except for the F-16s) were temporarily based at Minsk
Mazowiecki.
