This crash happened on return after the airshow at Zadar. At the Zadar airshow was by the way already a mig 21 who had problems with the landing. After two attempts it made a safe landing. That mig seemed to have problems with the landing gear. Next week when I'm home I can check on the pictures if it was the same mig 21.

After the airshow we went to the beach... Wife and kids were ready for that. Saw those two flying over the bay. Was thinking at that moment with a cold beer in my hand, watching my kids play and seeing migs flying over... Life's good Not knowing what would happen an hour later to one of them... Glad the pilot was ok, saw him talking to his friends or family earlier when he came out of his jet.

It was an airshow to celebrate the victory of Croatia of the Yugoslavian war.

I will check my pictures next week when I'm back home to see if it's any good.
