Rob Holland Accident

Post by Jason Grant » Fri Apr 25, 2025 8:31 am

I am sure a few of you who have travelled stateside have seen his display, Rob Holland has died in a crash overnight whilst practicing for the upcoming Langley air show. I have seen Rob display on many occasions and I will say his skill as a an aviator was second to none, one of the best. RIP and blue skies sir.

Likewise!!. Never liked watching extreme aerobatics much, however, this may not, of course, have been the cause. Sad.

NTSB initial report points to an interference by a loose object concerning the left elevator.
