| Subject: | Re: another 601 crash |
I spoke with Jim at length a week before his accident. His 601HD was a very nice
aircraft and was powered with a Franklin engine. He had apparently refueled at
Live Oak just before the accident which I had heard was from an engine failure.
This was not a structural problem.
I was told of the accident by a good friend of his who knew I had spoken with
Jim a short time earlier. He has an excellent collection of two Corvair autos
and originally had thought of using the Corvair engine in his 601HD but decided
on the Franklin instead.
I hope his recovery is rapid but I know he will always be thinking about his
passenger, a lady who had a short time ago just lost her husband to Cancer. The
last I heard was that Jim is recovering from two severely broken legs and possible
other injuries.

Yes, Jim was a contributor on the Zenith List. Before he moved to Florida
he lived in Wheaton and Salisbury Maryland. He finished his plane up here
before moving down to Florida. Many members of the greater DC area Zenith
community know him.
