Accident during Aero GP in Malta

Hi everyone,

I have never posted any information till know. Not a very happy welcome note. Unfortunately just a few hours ago we had a terrible accident during the hosting of the aero GP. Gabor Varga has lost his life during the first lap of the Aero GP when an Extra 200 completely chopped the back part of Gabor's Yak55 during low level flying over the sea. Consequently Gabor slammed uncontrollably in the sea. As to be remembered Gabor Varga of Sweden was one of the worlds most capable aerobatic pilots. Sincere condolences go to his family.

Hal far
