Low-level acro. What are we doing to ourselves?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NTSB Identification: CEN09LA236
14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation
Accident occurred Saturday, April 04, 2009 in Brookshire, TX
Aircraft: ARGENCE RV-8, registration: N89EA
Injuries: 1 Serious.
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed.
On April 4, 2009, about 1440 central daylight time, a single-engine Argence RV-8 airplane, N89EA, was destroyed during impact with trees following a roll during climb-out from the Mikeska Field Airport (1XA4), Brookshire, Texas. The airline transport pilot, sole occupant, sustained serious injuries. The airplane was registered to and operated by the pilot. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed and no flight plan was filed for the 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
According to several eyewitnesses, the accident airplane departed third in a flight of four airplanes. The pilot of the first airplane was observed doing a roll on climb-out. The second airplane climbed-out normally. As the third and accident airplane was on climb-out the airplane was observed to do a roll. Witnesses reported that as the airplane's wings rolled back to a level attitude, the airplane impacted into trees and subsequently the ground. The pilot exited the airplane unassisted, but was later airlifted to a hospital.
The pilot had not been interviewed at the time of this report. It is not known if the roll was intentional or not.
An inspector from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) responded to the accident site, and later reported that the airplane had been destroyed by a post crash fire.
At 1453, the weather observation facility at the Sugar Land Regional Airport (SGR), near Houston, Texas, located 24 nautical miles southeast from the site of the accident, was reporting the wind from 170 degrees at 12 knots, visibility 10 statute miles, a broken ceiling at 4,300 feet and at 6,000 feet, temperature 79 degrees Fahrenheit, dew point 63 degrees Fahrenheit, and a barometric pressure setting of 29.76 inches of Mercury.

NTSB Identification: ERA09LA229
14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation
Accident occurred Saturday, April 04, 2009 in Englewood, FL
Aircraft: Gaynor Donald J RV6A, registration: N88WG
Injuries: 1 Fatal, 1 Serious.
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed.
On April 4, 2009, about 1435 eastern daylight time, a Donald J. Gaynor experimental amateur built RV-6A, N88WG, registered to and operated by a private individual, crashed into trees in Englewood, Florida. The certificated private pilot was killed, the passenger received serious injuries, and the airplane sustained substantial damage. The flight was operated as a personal flight under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91, and no flight plan was filed. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The flight departed from the Venice Municipal Airport (VNC), Venice, Florida, at an undetermined time.
Witnesses at a local gathering referred to as the "Redneck Roundup," stated that a white single engine airplane flew over their heads at what they estimated to be 300 feet and then the airplane did what some witnesses referred to as a "barrel roll" and others referred to as a "loop." The airplane disappeared from sight. Organizers of the roundup stated that there was no air show scheduled to be performed at the gathering.
Examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector found that the airplane had collided with trees in a heavily wooded area. The wings and cockpit canopy had separated from the airplane. There was an isolated area of fire damage near the instrument panel and under the accessory section of the engine consistent with a postimpact fire.
The airplane has been recovered from the accident site for further examination.

Let's quit killing ourselves. One dead. Two seriously injured.
