I wonder if you or anyone on the list knows how many people have been killed or seriously hurt in Kolb A/C? I,m not trying to be negative, But I would like to know the facts. If someone knows the answer but dosen't want to talk about it on line please contact me off list.

Frank Goodnight Frank G/Folks: Go to this NTSB Query Page: http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/query.asp Expand the search dates from about 1970 to date. Search for Kolb or any other combo you can think of. I am sure some of the accidents with injuries and fatalities are not recorded here, but this is the best place I know to get some of that info. john hauck Titus, Alabma mkIII ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:48:29 AM PST US From: "Kolb Aircraft" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Fire Fly Winshield Pete If you want to send me some material to trace on I could trace our master template.
