To all, It is with great saddness that I can say that the fellow that crashed his KR outside of Valdosta was a longtime friend of mine Cary Howard. I waited for family permission before releasing his name. Cary was a great man, quiet yet energetic. He did a lot of work for me through the years as an electritian. I spent many hours working, talking and flying with him. He lived in Florida about an hour away. Many in the KR group may have met him at the KR gathering in 06 when he flew with me to Mt. Vernon IL. He leaves behind a wife and two grown children.. He will be missed by all who knew him. He was a pilot of some time and had flew a variety of aircraft. The details of the crash are that he had an apparent electrical fire (thought to come from a radio install he performed just prior to the flight) and was executing an emergency landing and clipped a tree. More details will be handled through the FAA. Please put his family in your prayers. Bill Clapp - Aeromax Aviation Manager KR2S builder and pilot Valdosta, GA aeromaxaviation.com / billclapp.com

I have searched the Valdosta News and the name of the pilot has not been released yet.
