A plane crashed one of its wings a few meters from an air festival in Río Negro

The Allen Flying Club Air Festival stands out for the skills that each pilot achieves in the air. However, there was a moment of great tension when one of the aircraft was close to crashing

"As they watched each aircraft go by, one of the planes turned and its wing ended up crashing into the ground. It immediately resumed flight and continued with the planned route. The event occurred a few meters from the public and although the situation went unnoticed by the organization, for some people it was a great scare due to the danger."


Thanks to Google for the awesome translation services. o_O

Don't show this to @Jim K or he might start using this method to plow his fields.
 
yeah, I don't know about that .... the video sure seems "sus" to me....( to borrow a term from my kids)
the plane seems to leap back into the air un-naturally just at it goes behind that person blocking the view
 
I wonder if the right wing was a bit heavy from all the gravel and dirt picked up in that open scoop of a wingtip.
