Re: Oshkosh Tragedy
Unfortunately there was an incident on the ground today that took place
when
a number of airplanes were taxiing single file. An RV-6, followed by a
WWII
Grumman Avenger, suddenly stopped. The Avenger didn't stop in time, and
you
can pretty much guess the results. An eye-witness said that you could see pieces flying around. Sadly, the person in the rear seat of the RV-6 was killed. The Avenger appeared as though it had suffered no damage, but that
won't be known until the engine is torn down for an inspection.
