President of our local EAA chapter killed in inaugural flight
Yesterday (Saturday) the president of our local EAA chapter here in Central
NY (USA) and a passenger were killed during the first takeoff of their just-completed Lancair Legacy aircraft. Sadly they had invited family and friends to witness this first flight. According to the news article, the pilot/president was a former B-52 pilot during the Vietnam war and had spent the last two years building the Lancair Legacy. From initial witness accounts speculation suggests engine failure on takeoff followed by a turning stall. http://tinyurl.com/2p9csw -- Peter
