I am shocked to learn this tragedy. Somehow I did not learn about the crash until now. Dane from Chicago is a part time Spruce Creek resident. I just talked to him before he took off with a friend to breakfast yesterday morning. Condolences to his son Kyle and daughter.
This is the RV8A we did a low pass at Space Shuttle Landing Facility.

Our prayers go out to the family... Such a tragedy,
We will find out why....when the NTSB gets done.

The news report said both of the men were pilots. And still a crash. What a sad day for so many.

The Kathryn Report provides links to their Facebook pages. What a loss. What a shame. I feel so sorry for their friends and relatives.

RV-8A accident
I knew Dane fairly well. He was such a fantastic person in so many ways!!! His children are just fantastic....just like their Mom and Dad. I keep checking for the final NTSB accident report because I am just grasping at straws as to how we could have lost 2 fairly experienced pilots on this sad day. The preliminary report does mention debris in the oil sump. Also, it looks clear that the engine was not running when they made it to the ground. Maybe we will eventually here what problem led to the forced landing.
It is a painful lesson to me how critically important it is to "fly the airplane all the way through the crash." (Bob Hoover). We must constantly say to ourselves, during a forced landing, "don't stall, don't stall, don't stall"!!!!! Of course, we all hope to never have to face this dire scenario. Dane would want us all to learn some good lesson from his loss. He would want us to be successful...even though unfortunately he wasn't able to in this case. God speed to you my friend Dane. You are missed!!!

my belated condolences. a sad day.
if I turn my master off, I have 30 seconds to extend operation of my Dynon D100 (and AOA indication) by pressing another button before it shuts down. mental note to practice that.
