The North Georgia RV-4 gang is safe. No details have been released but this aircraft was not from the area.

Unhappy RV-4 DOWN

Reporters...they'll never change don't they...

-------------
The plane, a Brenholt Larry R-RV4, was introduced in 1980. It is a two-seat home-built airplane sold in kit form.
---------------------------------

Condoleances to the family..
