It's true, Ken Brock was killed on Friday. Here's the report I just received from EAA. Aviation Legend Ken Brock Killed in Saturday Crash The halls of EAA are quieter this morning as those of us who had the privilege to know Ken Brock deal with the reality of his death on Friday, October 19. <http://www.eaa.org/newsletter/images/brock-ehl.jpg> On Friday, Ken and his wife, Marie, flew their T-18 to Ken's favorite weekend hideaway, El Mirage Dry Lake, California. According to initial reports, upon landing, a mechanism in the tailwheel broke causing the aircraft to swerve off the runway. The aircraft struck a post, which took off a wing, and then flipped inverted. Ken was killed instantly, suffering a broken neck, while Marie received a minor injury. Friends and neighbors at the El Mirage airport broke the canopy to help Marie escape from the aircraft, and emergency crews were dispatched to assist Ken. Upon learning of Ken's death, EAA President Tom Poberezny said, "We are extremely saddened to hear of Ken's death. As evidenced by his low EAA number, 6561, Ken is a longtime member of the EAA family. He was a mainstay at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh and was well known for his work in the gyroplane and homebuilt communities. Our most heartfelt condolences go out to Marie, the entire Brock family, and Ken's many, many friends. He will be greatly missed." Funeral arrangements are pending. ==^================================================================ EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aVxiLm.aVzvvT Or send an email To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
