Hi Kip,

     I don't know anything about the incident, but 424EA  is the hybrid Lightning (Esqual fuselage with the Lightning wing and 80 HP  engine).  It had been just recently sold to a guy from Crossville.  I  gave the new owner some stick time in my Esqual and it was obvious he would need  a thorough review before soloing his new airplane.  The new buyer had not  flown much recently and needed more instruction than Nick could give to get him  ready to solo 424EA.  Nick flew with him several times at Shelbyville, but  an instructor from Crossville was to complete the checkout.  How did you  find about this recent incident?

 Blue Skies,

 Buz

Local pilot survives plane crash



A Cumberland County man walked away from this plane

crash at Crossville Memorial Airport Saturday,

suffering a serious head laceration and complaining of

back pain. The crash occurred around 8:20 a.m. near

the end of the runway when pilot Robert Parsons Jr.,

34, Don Kerley Rd., encountered strong headwinds. The

downdraft slammed his plane back onto the side of the

runway, according to Crossville fire and police

officials. Parsons was flying a home-built JN4D Jenny

Replica single-engine bi-plane.



this is all I have found so far still looking....

Buz, I took a demo flight in that plane. Perhaps he needed a bit more instruction. I found the info on the FAA preliminary incident site. It is updated daily and shows all incidents and accidents. It's usually a list of daily gear up landings. I'd offer a link but I am at work and it's at home.

Regards,

Kip

Buz and all,



    Just go to www.faa.gov and click on the Accident and Incident Data under 

Top Requests.    The Preliminary Accident Data is usually pretty sketchy but 

the first place you will find out about an accident.
