Perth Australia
Adilson Kindlemann has had a miracle escape after crashing his plane into the Swan River during Red Bull training on Wednesday April14.
The Brazilian Red Bull Air Race pilot has escaped with minor injuries. Adilson Kindlemann, 36, a former airline pilot, was doing a practice run ahead of the World Championship competition event on Saturday and Sunday. Kindlemann lost control of his aircraft after rounding a pylon during practice. Kindlemann managed a near wings level impact, but as the aircraft’s fixed landing gear dug into the water, the aircraft flipped, leaving Kindlemann and the aircraft floating upside down in Perth’s Swan River. Weather conditions at the time of the accident were less than ideal, with gusty winds.
