| This happened October 2003 at the 19th FAI World Grand Prix, Twin Ring Motegi. The Russian pilot Alexander Krotov was injured during a training session. See "www.fai.org/news_archives/fai/cat_fai_world_grand_prix.asp". There is unfortunately no room for error when flying in a cities grand prix car circuit. |

| Dammit, I said a cloth ribbon, not a steel one! | ||

| Hey guys, this video is NOT from Alexander Krotov's Sukhoi! Because Alexander's plane had blue/white fuselage, but on this video had fully blue... well? | ||
| From: | contraildash | (Mon Aug 22 14:56:01 2005) |
| and thats not a race track in the video either. | ||
| From: | WG | (Tue Sep 27 02:18:43 2005) |
| Sure it is Alexander Krotov at Twin Ring Montegi 2003 | ||

| Whoops, wrong tower | ||

| The video bears no relation to the picture. For a start the fin is still attached even hslfway through the crash and in the picture the entire rear fuselage is missing before the crash happens. | ||
| From: | Spity | (Thu Aug 3 02:43:18 2006) |
| Well I guess that ended his chances of winning any air races in THAT plane! | ||
| From: | Stupid | (Sun Aug 13 10:47:38 2006) |
| I HATE it when that happens... | ||

| The video at http://www.alexisparkinn.com/photogallery/Videos/2006-10-21_krotov_japan_2003-Crash.wmv is definately this crash. |
||
| From: | NevilleStyke | (Sat Oct 28 17:41:03 2006) |
| BTW, don't know the cause of the crash, but it looks to me like there may have been loss of power whilst inverted at low level making him push the stick forwards excessively, or something that made the wings flex. | ||

| A Krotov crashed twice - 2001 and 2003. That's all I know. There are videos of both on YouTube. 2001 in France: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1l9oFzgdh-k |

| From: | Borderfort | (Mon Nov 13 02:39:49 2006) |
| Apparently he wasn't hurt too badly. He flew in an aerobatic competition in France last month. (Okt, 2006) | ||
| From: | Dave L. | (Mon Feb 5 20:12:34 2007) |
| Looks like he tried to roll level after power loss just before impacting a gound structure and hit the wing which broke it. It wasn't his day to die. | ||
| From: | Craig L. | (Sun May 13 23:11:25 2007) |
| This accident occurred in Japan. The pilot was russian and he survived to fly and crash a second time. He survived that one also. | ||
| From: | Bill | (Mon Jul 2 10:03:53 2007) |
| Injured?!?! Holy cow, this dude has 9 lives! | ||
| From: | jdingo | (Tue Jan 29 15:03:10 2008) |
| It never ceases to amaze me... this guy lived through this? I honestly would have never flown again. | ||
