One of our EAA 902 chapter members was killed yesterday when his RV-9A crashed and burned. Our chapter president and a few members had the awful task of assisting with cleaning up the wreckage under FAA supervision and hauling it to the victim's hangar.
A careful reading of the witness' statement suggests he didn't really see it happen so we don't have any witnesses except maybe some drivers who weren't interviewed by the press. So we don't really know what happened at this time.
The victim was 81 years old.
The accident site is about 10 miles ENE of Van's.
