Nothing new that I know.

I know the tech that was interviewed on the news and also the owner of the maint shop. I used to be in and out every couple of weeks but have not talked to them in a while.

I am going into Springdale this weekend for the game and will talk to John at Twelve Stone I am sure he knows a little more than is reported.  Such a tragedy.

The pilot of a Beech A36 Bonanza was killed at the Bentonville, Arkansas, airport Wednesday when his aircraft crashed on takeoff. The Bonanza smashed into a hangar about 9:30 a.m., KFSM reported. The 70-year-old Bentonville resident was the only one on board. The FAA is investigating and the airport was closed, according to news reports.

Fire crews responded to the scene and there was a post-crash fire. A witness video from behind the hangar shows a hole ripped open in one side wall and black smoke billowing from the front of the building. KFSM news photos show that the aircraft crashed into the top of the hangar and burned, with pieces of the wreckage on the ground outside.

Old topic but video of what happened from airport camera surfacing, not sure how long it has been out and was just told about it today. I work in the hangar between the hangar that was hit and the hangar you see the people standing in font of. I was not there when it happened.
