Strange way to go, that's why I don't jog anymore.

Re: Small plane kills man jogging.

Bummer to see this. Sucks to be the jogger and sucks to be in the owner of that half million dollar Lancair sitting in salt water after making a safe landing and not tearing up the airplane. I guess when it's your time it's your time. It kind of reminds me of the B-52 crash at Fairchild AFB a number of years ago. One of the crewmembers was sick that morning and didn't fly. The BUFF still took him out as he was driving home on the airfield perimeter road. Sad sad sad.. condolences to the family.

Re: Small plane kills man jogging.

Prop came off on an experimental. There is a local guy that this happened to on his experimental. Guy forgot to use safetywire. Another local guy changed the oil in his pickup with new filter. He got the new filter in but forgot the oil. He is happy his pickup did not fly.

Licenced mechanics can make those same mistakes also.

Re: Small plane kills man jogging.

Very sad, freak accident! Wonder where the prop ended up??
After the oil leak started he must have kept the engine running until they parted company?
