Oostende Air show 26 July 1997
I was happy to have seen Concorde take off,
and was leaving while a small acrobatic "flying lawnmower"
took to the air.
As i was queuing to leave te Ostend airport vicinity,
the stuntplane crashed in the crowd...

Traffic got real difficult from that moment,
and on ...
