I hate this kind of news. I heard that an RV-3 crashed at Skypark Airport (KBTF) earlier today. Does anyone have more information?
My info is secondhand. I'm told that the plane was red, and I didn't get the tail number. The story is that the pilot ground looped after touchdown on 34. The plane flipped, crushed the canopy, and the pilot was taken away by life flight. I think the plane is based at BTF, and according to the lineperson I spoke to, the pilot is a friend of the fellow who flies RV-3 N9286T (I saw that one doing pattern work a few weeks ago).
