Rec.Aviation OSH report

Oh no. Another one down leaving OSH about 6 hours ago.

An American Legend Cub lost engine power over Lake Michigan about 4
miles out from Chicago.

The article says the passenger was able to stay afloat using a seat
cushion, but he got separated from the older pilot. They haven't been
able to find him as of 10 PM CDT.

It wasn't a very good week as far as accidents go. The Cherokee rumor
was actually an Europa. Two people died in that crash. This morning a
TBM taxied into an RV6 killing the passenger.

Then there's the F-86 in North Carolina that was on it's way to OSH.

On the not-in-motion type of accident, there was a storm in Appleton
this morning that damaged a Maule and a Bonanza.

I just got off the phone with Jay Honeck. The group that had left
KIOW this morning arrived at OSH after several holds and an accident
on 9/27. Rumors are that a Cherokee pilot perished in an air to
ground crash. No other details.

For those that are going to the Rec.Aviation.*.* party Wednesday
night, Jay and Mary's parking/camping spot is # 558 in the North 40 on
the NORTH side of 9/27 on the departure end of 27 fairly close to
Friar Tucks.

Good luck to all that are inbound to OSH and fly safe.

See you Wednesday
