This is really sad news. Larry was a great guy and
helped many Express builders during difficult times.
Does anyone have info on which Express he was flying?

Larry will be missed....

Wonder if it got gassed up with gasoline by mistake? Didn't he just refuel?

Nonsense...
Bet I make as many mistakes as you do.
All you need is my 'foolproof' airplane.

BOb

The only 'foolproof' airplane I have ever seen is one parked in a
hanger with the hanger doors closed and locked <G>

Been having some trouble with my computer and haven't found the cause
yet. Things changed and I didn't do anything to make change. Guess
it's 'Bill' just counting his money and doing his thing (selling
'beta' programs to the 'great unwashed masses') :o(

Know you were at Jay's. Didn't you go on to Osh with crowd this year?

On the Express crash. Do you remember 5-10 years ago one of the new
'plastic' birds crashed on way to Osh. Investigation showed that pilot
(a key man and salesman for company) had loaded the bird down with
brochures and other paper items and bird was way over max gross. He
took off from a field with a pretty high density altitude and crashed
either from overload or bad CG. Wonder if something similar happened
to the Express?

Will be interesting to see what investigation comes up with.

Wx forecast not good up in your part of county. Potato couch WX I
guess <G>

Have a good day.

Even then, you best have it insured if it's worth anything.

>Know you were at Jay's. Didn't you go on to Osh with crowd this year?

I never have gone to OSH.
You know how I hate people, in general. Well....
crowds have waaay too many people in them to suit me.

FWIW.... I have been seen at lil ol Sun n Fun.

Nope.
My Alzheimer's has flared up again.

All I keep thinking is.....
Turbine homebuilts are not doing well, lately.

Yeah, we are having our share of stink-o Wx.
Wanna bet it ends the same day as OSH?

Don't know yet, of course, but that previous crash was an Express as well.
The crash ended the previous incarnation of the company.

The NTSB online report is pretty terse, but it doesn't mention CG being an
issue.
