"Two women died when a small aircraft crashed in a Snohomish County field
this afternoon.

The pilot, a 54-year-old woman from Camano Island, told her husband
shortly
before the crash that she was losing or had lost power, according to
Snohomish County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Rebecca Hover. It was not
clear whether the pilot spoke with her husband by cellphone or some other
means.

The pilot and her only passenger, her 34-year-old niece from Oak Harbor,
died at the scene. The sheriff's office did not release the women's names.
No one on the ground was injured.

The women had planned to fly a short distance, from Arlington Municipal
Airport in Snohomish County to Camano Island, where the pilot had a
private
airstrip on her property.

Just before 1 p.m., the experimental fixed-wing aircraft crashed on its
nose
in a field near the 25700 block of 95th Avenue Northwest just outside
Stanwood, Hover said.

The Federal Aviation Administration is leading the investigation and did
not
immediately return calls."

I just saw this on TV. It appeared to be an RV-6.
