RV-6 down, 2 dead

Post by A2022 »

reminds me of an earlier RV-6 accident that also killed two people in Arizona last year. fully loaded, an RV-6 glides like a rock so you better be able to hit your landing spot with engine out. this aircraft was far away from the original builder.

COLONIAL BEACH, Va. (WRIC) — Virginia State Police is currently investigating another plane crash in Virginia — this time in Colonial Beach in Westmoreland County.

Around 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, June 7, state troopers were called to the area of 687 Layton Landing Road for a reported plane crash.

According to police, a Vans R6 model single-engine plane crashed in a cornfield near a driveway, then caught fire.

The pilot — identified as 28-year-old Logan Edward Woodworth of Wilmington, North Carolina — and his passenger — 57-year-old Bruce Edward Woodworth of Wilmington, North Carolina — were both confirmed dead at the scene.
