According to the Houston Chronicle this morning, they reported that the
Air Aces PR material/website claimed the aircraft had the "baron" spars.
The chronicle does not specifically address wether it was a midair or a
wing failure, but also did not address any damage to the other bird if
it WAS a midair of somekind.

The Chronicle also indicated the accident aircraft was on leaseback
(well.. owned by someone other than Don).

Blue Skies Don.. Sorry I never got a change to meet you in person while
flyin around up at Hooks

Ground witinesses say wing broke and came off (not mid air).


The big question will be: "Did it have the spar mod per the AD?"
