Looks like a VAF forum member. But thankfully the initial report seems to show that he is likely/hopefully okay, and was the only one on board.

No, the way it's listed in the post is easy to misread. Break it up and you can see that it's reported to not be a mid-air.

The RV-10 is registered to Torello Tacchi, Tacchi88 in the forum. It doesn't look like he's posted anything since 2008 though.

TT used to be real active in the Cherokee owner forums, but he hasn't been online much these last few years. I don't know him well, other than through conversations on that forum many years ago.

My guess (and hope) that it's just a simple off airport landing. If there was any damage, it would have clearly made the local news. In any case, it would be nice to know what happened.

I've never much liked how the raw FAA reports shows this line either...

"# Crew: 1 Fat: 0 Ser: 0 Min: 1 Unk: "

...always makes be think "1 Fat" before I remember it is "Fat: 0", etc.
