Aterrizaje duro del Hug Spyr 5A tras lanzamiento por torno en aeródromo militar suizo

El 23 de abril de 1966, un Hug Spyr 5A experimentó un aterrizaje duro en un aeródromo militar en Suiza. Durante un lanzamiento por torno, el piloto perdió el control del planeador biplaza y soltó el cable del torno. La aeronave entró en una trayectoria de vuelo incontrolada antes de impactar el suelo con fuerza significativa. El planeador sufrió daños considerables, pero no se reportaron heridos ni fallecidos.

1. Winch launch takeoff: During a winch launch from a military airfield, the dual-seat Spyr VA HB-509 began its takeoff roll and initial climb.
2. Loss of control: While on winch launch, the pilot lost control of the glider.
3. Cable release: After losing control during the winch launch, the pilot released the winch cable.
4. Uncontrolled flight path: Following cable release, the glider continued in an uncontrolled flight, unable to be stabilized before ground contact.
5. Hard landing - damage: The glider impacted the ground fairly hard on the military airfield and was substantially damaged, but there were no injuries.
