Passenger Killed In Taxi Accident

Shortly after noon as this year's AirVenture was nearing its close, a

passenger in an RV-6 homebuilt was killed when a Grumman TBM Avenger ran

into it from behind while taxiing at the Oshkosh airport. Both the

Avenger (a very large WWII taildragger with limited forward visibility) and the

RV were in line for departure at Wittman Field, on the taxiway on the west side of the airport's main runway, 18-36. The propeller of the Avenger

sliced into the RV and passenger Gary Palmer, 63, of Nepean, Ontario, was

killed. Palmer was president of EAA Chapter 245 in Ottawa.

 

The pilot of the RV, Donald Reed, 58, of Carp, Ontario, was unhurt, as were the two on board the Avenger. "It's always a very difficult situation when there is a loss of life," EAA President Tom Poberezny said in a statement on Tuesday.

"Our sincere sympathy goes to the families and to all involved." The NTSB is

continuing its investigation into the accident.

Also here is something I found on online about the NTSB investigation.

Jeg trodde det var vanlig å takse litt sikk-sakk for å se fremover?

 

Man gjør det når det er plass. Som bildene viser, var det ikke mye plass. Husker jeg leste en foreløpig rapport et sted like etter at det skjedde, at Avenger-piloten hevdet å ha foretatt s-svinger langs taxiwayen, mens flyet som taxet bak hevdet å ikke ha sett noe til dette...

 

Før i tiden taxet man ikke på Oshkosh uten wing walkers eller aircraft marshallers, men det ser det visst ut til å være slutt på...
