The swiss pilot Hans Georg Schmid got killed today, in the crash of its experimental aircraft after take-off from Basel (LFSB), on a flight to Oshkosh (KOSH). This was an attempt to re-create part of the original Atlantic Ocean crossing by Charles Lindbergh in 1927.
Hans Georg Schmid used to work as an airline captain for swissair, but he also held several aviation speed records, including speed around the world. More information about him on his website.
He was a major supporter and actor of all flying activities, and his death is an enormous loss for all the community.
All my thougts go to his familly and relatives on this sad day.
PS: once again, only investigation report will contain reliable facts, all what media will report in betwee will be speculation only, disregard it.
