I wonder why there isn't an NTSB report for it.   JD Unregistered guest Posted on Monday, January 10, 2005 - 03:36 pm:    Didn't the accident happen in Canada? That's probably why there's no NTSB report. JD   Allyn Roe Unregistered guest Posted on Monday, January 10, 2005 - 03:40 pm:    Yes it was in Canada. There was a reference in the "FAA" reports but I haven't recently checked the NTSB. The aircraft held up very well. The wings were only "removed" for transportation off the airfield. It was a good showing of how strong the Express is. However, it was sad to see to such a new aircraft.   Brian McKinney New member Username: Bmckinney Post Number: 65 Registered: 05-2000 Posted on Monday, January 10, 2005 - 06:52 pm:    Is that the plane that had the landing incident at a Canadian airshow? I think a crosswind caused it to roll just before touchdown and the wingtip struck the ground first.   Jim Hurd Unregistered guest Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2005 - 03:48 pm:    I think the right wing was torn off on impact. Nose gear and right gear torn off.Firewall/cowling messed up.I was told aircraft stalled.Does anyone have any thoughts of putting it back together?   Eric Holmberg New member Username: Erich Post Number: 103 Registered: 05-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 03, 2005 - 05:32 pm:    After the salvage guys gutted it, I would think it would be easier to build a new one. At the very least, you would have to build a new pair of wings and inspect absolutely everything (and rebuild the engine, etc).   Jim Oyler New member Username: Midniteoyl Post Number: 95 Registered: 07-2003 Posted on Tuesday, February 08, 2005 - 09:53 am:    Any new news on whats happening?

Get ready for a surprise! GHW PS: We are all still waiting for that "very positive announcment soon" from Nancy (10-27-04)   Brian McKinney New member Username: Bmckinney Post Number: 68 Registered: 05-2000 Posted on Tuesday, February 08, 2005 - 10:14 am:    Too bad something couldn't have been settled with a new organization for Sun-n-Fun. I at least hope some Express fliers will show up. Maybe we should plan our own get together? Who's going? Brian
