Default F-86 down in Hickory NC


At around 11:30 this morning, an F-86 went down in Hickory, NC. I don't
know that he was on the way to OSH, but he did, on many years.


The Charlotte Observer said he *was* on his way to Oshkosh. I hate when

stuff
like this happens. I feel expecially bad for those he left behind.

I just got this letter from our local EAA chapter.

EAA members, we lost a fellow pilot today.
Wyatt Fuller was flight testing the F-86 for Oshkosh when something went
terribly wrong.

We will remember him and the impromptu flybys at HKY
