On Sunday 24 September 2017, we learned about the tragic and fatal accident of Capt. Gabriele Orlandi during his public display flight with the Eurofighter Typhoon during Terracina Airshow in Italy.
We would like to express our most sincere condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
The loss of Capt. Orlandi hit us hard in Ostrava as it was only a week prior to this tragedy when Capt. Orlandi flew a spectacular display over Mošnov airport during our event. Our thoughts stay with his memory and those he was close to.
