NTSB finds no problems with plane in EAA crash

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Associated Press

The National Transportation Safety Board found no pre-existing problems with the engine or airframe of a plane that crashed during AirVenture 2008, killing two people.

The agency’s preliminary report indicates the homebuilt Moser Georg Lancair Legacy was on a final approach to Wittman Regional Airport’s east–west runway when the plane banked suddenly, landed inverted and slid to a stop July 31.

The report says no flight plan was filed for the flight, which departed from Carnegie, Pa., earlier that morning.

The victims were the plane’s owner, 62-year-old Roger Bock of Carnegie, Pa., and 56-year-old John Linden of Washington, Pa.
