    Not a good week for aviation, here is another crash.

    "A woman making her maiden parachute jump for her birthday was among ten skydivers and a pilot who died when their plane crashed in Belgium.

    The plane took off from Temploux aerodrome, near Namur, and reached a height of about two miles before it suddenly started descending, coming down after about ten minutes in a field.

    Some of the skydivers and their instructors attempted to jump to safety as the Pilatus PC-6 Turbo Porter went down but were also killed.

    Witnesses have reported seeing part of the one of the wings falling off..."

    - This could be the grounding of PC-6 Porters until they find out why the wing came off in flight. There is one in use in Ireland for jumpers.
