Does anyone know what happened?
Jim
NTSB Identification: SEA08LA070
14 CFR Part 91: General Aviation
Accident occurred Saturday, February 02, 2008 in Maricopa, CA
Aircraft: Kidd Harmon Rocket, registration: N96KR
Injuries: 1 Fatal.
This is preliminary information, subject to change, and may contain errors. Any errors in this report will be corrected when the final report has been completed.
On February 6, 2008, about 1030 Pacific standard time, the wreckage of an experimental Kidd Harmon Rocket, N96KR, was located about 10 miles south of Maricopa, California. The private pilot, who was the sole occupant of the airplane, was killed, and the airplane, which was owned and operated by the pilot, sustained substantial damage. The 14 CFR part 91 personal pleasure flight departed a private airstrip near Taft, California, about 1030 on February 2, 2008. The intended destination was New Cuyama, California, which is located about 20 miles south of Taft. No flight plan had been filed. There was no report of an ELT activation.
When the pilot did not show up at his destination on the day of his departure from Taft, his family reported him missing, and a search was initiated. The wreckage was eve ntually spotted from the air at a location about 15 miles southeast of the point of departure. The airplane wreckage was reportedly located in hilly terrain, and it was estimated that it traveled about 150 feet after first contacting the ground. The first local law enforcement officer to arrive on the scene reported that it appeared that the airplane's wing was the first thing to contact the ground. The engine had been torn away from the fuselage and was laying nearby. The aircraft will be recovered and undergo further inspection.
