Plane catches fire in Elz sky
On September 7, 2025, an unexpected incident occurred during the flight festival at the Elz airfield in Limburg-Weilburg, Germany. A towplane, which was intended to launch a glider, caught fire while still on the runway.
The takeoff attempt was aborted by the pilot, but the aircraft veered to the right before the incident occurred. The fire, although sudden, was swiftly addressed by the pilot and the firefighters present at the airshow.
The quick response of the emergency services prevented any injuries, but the damages incurred from the incident are estimated to be around 80,000 euros, as reported by the police.
The towplane involved in the incident was a crucial part of the airshow, making it all the more surprising that such an event took place. The authorities are now investigating the cause of the fire that occurred in the aircraft during the event.
Despite the incident, the airshow in Elz continued, showcasing the resilience and adaptability of the organisers and the community. The incident serves as a reminder of the risks associated with aviation, but also the quick and effective response of emergency services in such situations.
