Mornin' guys,



  I just got a call from my wife on her way to work, where she said she just heard on our local

radio station that a man crashed a Kolb MkIII near Versailles, MO, yesterday.



  I did a quick search, and only found a brief confirmation of of the crash, in an on-line write-up, 

but not very detailed about why he crashed, or the extent of his injuries.  It appears as though he 

WAS helicoptered to a local hospital.



  The radio report mentioned he may have run out of gas (or at least the engine died), and he made 

an 'attempt' to make a quick 180, which didn't quite work out well, evidently.



  Sad news, for sure, it looks like it may have been an incorrect decision to try the 180 (Versailles 

is mostly farm land).   I'm sure more information will follow soon in an updated news report.

Mike,



The only thing I could find was that Gregory Everett, 63, of Versailles, Missouri, crashed on September 5, 2011.  The article states it was a Kolb Mark III but the picture clearly is a Avid or Kitfox type of plane.

Rex,



  You are right, it sure isn't a Kolb.



  I just got home a few minutes ago from our monthly EEA chapter meeting,

and one of the members said it is a KitFox (because he used to own one).



 OBVIOUSLY, it is either a KitFox, or an Avid (or a clone, if they made any).



  The following link has the story;

He may not have been flying a Kolb but sure experienced his own version of "Kolb quit".

Most likely Mental panic set in, that's why we should practice for the 'inevitable' sport plane engine out. Hope he heals up OK and gets a second chance.

Loved the write up of the `Mark 3 Kitfox` crash.



I didn`t know that in the US they employed 3 year olds who have not started 

language lessons yet to write accident reports.



I have heard of `dumbing down but, good grief!.

Since the FAA does not get a picture...guess one could register any 

airplane as a Kolb?  Just as long as the paperwork is up to snuff...Herb...

Herb/Gang;



The N number was registered for a MKIII, but an Airworthiness Certificate

was never issued for that airplane.  It was built by another individual and

sold to the gent involved in the crash.



Maybe this gent used the MKIII N number on his Kit Fox, or whatever it was,

that crashed.
