| Subject: | MKIII crash today |
It's my sad duty to report a Kolb MKIII crash today in Connecticut. Engine
failure on takeoff, perhaps 200-300' up, not clear whether the pilot was
attempting to return to the airport or stalled due to the pitch-up and was
trying to recover. Looked like he had turned about 45 from the runway
centerline and went into the trees on about a 45 down line. Pilot (Bob
Berrie whom some of you may know) and passenger are in stable condition,
many broken bones and much pain but apparently not life threatening. They,
another pilot on a GT400, and I were heading together to a fly-in in Rhode
Island, I was still taxiing out and behind the hangars so I didn't see it
happen. Looking at the wreckage, it's a miracle either of them
survived. Our prayers are with them tonight.

Surprisingly, the newscritters got it mostly right, except for the pilot's
name and calling it an "ultralight".

That puts a damper on a day's outing. I hope their injuries are of
the mendable variety.
Departure failures are the worst. I don't have a lot of regard for
the so-called departure stall
routines used in testing procedures, mostly because you would rarely
ever be in that extreme
a position in real life. That struggle at full throttle in the old
C-150 until it flips its ass over teakettle
is bogus.
Best wishes to your friends.
