I received a short note from a friend that reporting a death at <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Oshkosh.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
I searched and found far more than I expected. This was my first trip to Airventure – it was great.
Sad to hear the bad news. One was a ditching. Basics and links below.
I hope that is all of them

OSHKOSH, Wis. — The propeller of a Navy warbird sliced into a home-built airplane on a taxiway during an airshow Sunday, killing a Canadian man inside, officials said.

Short landing
Federal aviation officials continue to investigate the fatal crash of a homebuilt airplane as it approached the east-west runway at Wittman Regional Airport Sunday morning.
The plane’s two occupants were killed when their small homebuilt plane came down short of the runway as they arrived in Oshkosh at 8:45 a.m. in advance of today’s opening of the Experimental Aircraft Association’s annual AirVenture convention.

Aero-News Alert: Legend Cub Down In Lake Michigan, Pilot Missing
Mon, 31 Jul '06
An aircraft identified in media reports as an American Legend Cub LSA, reportedly heading to NE Ohio from this year's 2006 AirVenture Fly-In, went down Sunday, in Lake Michigan.
The two-seat aircraft reportedly experienced some mode of powerplant failure while flying over Lake Michigan and ditched some three miles from land. The two occupants used the sinking aircraft, temporarily, for floatation before the aircraft ultimately sank in what was estimated as 30-60 feet of water.

The last fatal accident on the airport grounds during an EAA convention was 15 years ago…….

Misssed one. Sence the pilot walked away most news groups dont talk0 about it.
A small helo ( I think it was a dragon fly?) lost power and0 crashed on the ultralight field. The rotax engine failed at about 30 ft0 forcing an autorotation. at landing the main rotor struck the tail boom0 and spun the helo around a few times. The pilot made a hard landing to0 keep the helo on the field and not get into the camping0 area.
