Narrative:Two aircraft were performing an aerobatics display along the coastline at Alba Adriatica, Italy, when they collided in mid-air. One aircraft, a Van's RV-8 I-LOVI, lost a wing and crashed into the sea, killing the pilot.
The pilot of the other aircraft, a Van's RV-7 I-AMEL, managed to make a forced landing on the shoreline, causing the airplane to flip upside down.
