In the Portuguese city of Beja, two planes collided in the air during the Beja Air Show at the country's Air Force base, as a result of which one pilot died. This was reported by Reuters.
The incident happened on June 2 at the airbase 180 km south of Lisbon. During acrobatic demonstrations by Spanish and Portuguese pilots, two of them collided.
Air Force Captain Patricia Fernandes said that as a result of the collision, the pilot of one of the aircraft, a Spanish citizen, died and the other was injured.
The published video shows one of the planes rapidly losing altitude and falling, followed by an explosion and a cloud of thick black smoke.
