COURTLAND – The president of the Tillsonburg Flying Club is dead after his single-engine plane crashed between two houses in this village west of Delhi.
John Hart, 56, of Simcoe, who was alone in the plane at the time. The father of eight, who taught drafting at Cayuga Secondary School was pronounced dead at the scene following the 7:45 p.m. crash Thursday.
The single-seat plane went down between two houses on the east side of the village on Highway 3 and about a mile short of the club’s grass airstrip and hangars on Byerlay Road north of the crash scene.
The aircraft came down on the lawn between two houses on the north Side of Main Street (Highway 3) just east of the entrance to the Courtland Lions Community Park. The plane missed the garage of one of the homes and several vehicles by about two meters, landing in a crumpled wreck upside down.
Norfolk OPP identified the pilot as John Hart of Norfolk County .
Courtland is about halfway between Delhi and Tillsonburg.
This is the second plane crash near Courtland in less than a year. Alvin Foster, a local man in his 80s, died after his Cessna 150 crashed into a cornfield on Byerlay Road, south of the village on Aug. 12, 2009.
Foster had survived a plane crash twice previously near Courtland, once when his plane flipped while landing in a plowed field in 2002 and again when he hit some trees after his engine failed during takeoff from his private strip in April 2007.
The OPP say they are not connecting the two crashes at this time as they “appear separate.”
Ontario Provincial Police said the pilot in the latest incident was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officials from Transportation Safety Board were expected to be at the scene this morning.
Norfolk OPP Constable Kari Lee said police were called to the crash.
"We got a report of it and we responded to it," she said last night.
Members from the OPP's Technical Collision Investigation Unit and Forensic Identification Unit also responded to the crash.
Lee said the identity of the pilot was being withheld pending notification of next of kin. The pilot was the only occupant in the plane.
"It didn't hit the home or do anything to the homes, but it is on the residents' property there," Lee said.
The crash site had been secured overnight by police.
Investigators would like to speak with anyone who may have observed or heard anything leading up to and including the crash. Police can be contacted at 1-888-310-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
In last year's crash, police responded after Foster was overdue from returning home. Residents did not report a fire or plume of smoke following the crash.

Hi Dave,
I wasn't sure what sort of plane or accident this article was about so I did a little research on the net. I found a bunch of better photos on the Delhi News-Record site. Here are the results of my amateur photo interpretation:
The plane was clearly a Zodiac, but I don't think it was a Zodiac XL. The main landing gear has metal slabs on both sides of each wheel. The Zodiac XL I built has a gear spring that holds both wheels with metal on one side of each main gear wheel.
The wings are attached to the fuselage as is the empenage. Therefore, there was not an in-flight structure failure and breakup.
This is a sad event. Another member of the Zodiac community has had a bad outcome from flying his plane. On the brighter side (for the rest of us) this was not another example of a Zodiac XL breaking up in flight.

601 was not a XL.
I think it was a Soob powered plane.
I can only assume from the pics it was a stall/ spin accident.
Questions remain -what happened? re drive failure? my bestd guess but my speculation.
REgardless, sad news !
