Hey Hartmut: I had put the original report on ercoupe-flying,
(ercoupe-flyin) to try and answer the questions but I guess it did not make it
to everyone.

Subj: Ercoupe Accident.
Hey fellow Ercouper's: I heard this afternoon that N 99154 has crashed near
Sebring Florida. Two occupants were killed. The story from non pilots really
sounds bad, and that is what is written on the local Internet site. However, a
local pilot said he saw the plane just prior to the crash in a nose low
attitude, obviously exceeding VNE and the ailerons were fluttering. The owner,
an experienced pilot, was not flying the plane. Someone recently checked out
was flying it.
People wishing the other witnesses's accounts can read about it at
highlandstoday.com
Regards
Lynn Nelsen

What in the world happened? I am puzzled. Black smoke? Falling apart?
A tragedy.

Very sad. We've lost one of our own though I don't know if he was a forum
member.
