The fatal crash that killed two racing pilots in Reno last weekend is confounding aviation experts. “Honestly, it is very hard for me to find an explanation for how those two expert pilots ended up in the same piece of air space at the same time,” Reno Air Racing Association CEO Fred Telling said. Telling, who raced T-6s for 10 years, doubts there was a mechanical failure because someone would have radioed “Mayday.”
The families of U.S. Navy sailors who died in a helicopter crash following a mechanical failure have filed a lawsuit against the aircraft's manufacturer.
