Does anybody know anything about this? I haven't seen any followups.
I guessing it had something to do with the factory fly-in?

I do not have further knowledge, but we had very high winds in central, Tx. yesterday.
(+/- 30 mph) On my way to Sun n Mud this year I landed @ Caldwell (70
mi E of here) and as I recall the runway is 50'wide. I made an x wind landing
there in the strongest x wind I've ever landed in and it wasn't pretty. Used
all 50'.

Just made a phone call and it was a Series 7 with a California couple on
board. The story is that it was a stall spin within the boundaries of
Caldwell airport. This is sobering, guys.

Pete-
The original article....
*********
Caldwell airplane crash kills 2
Houston Chronicle
He identified the airplane as a Kitfox, a popular single-engine
airplane kit assembled by owners.
**********
.....listed the dateline as Caldwell, Idaho, not Texas. Because of
the Kitfox factory fly-in at Caldwell, Idaho being this weekend, I
was wondering if this crash was related. Now the question is, did the
Houston Chronicle newspaper get the dateline wrong, or did this
unfortunate accident actually happen in Texas?

Jim and Sheila were dear friends of mine. I always looked forward to seeing
them at our Kitfox fly-ins. I chatted with them quite some time on Saturda
y afternoon, and I'll miss those future conversations that will go unfulfil
led. We learned of their demise just before I departed Homedale on Sunday m
orning for my return flight to Denver. May they rest in peace.
