Tiger down in Bristol, Penn.

Aircraft Crashes: The pilot was doing traffic reporting duty when he
encountered trouble and was unable to land safely.


---

Bristol Township residents yesterday continued to praise the dead pilot
who steered his plane away from their homes before crashing Saturday,
while federal investigators removed the wreckage in hopes of finding a
cause.

Michael Titov, 20, of Huntingdon Valley, Montgomery County, was flying
alone when his small single-engine Grumann Aviation AA-1A crashed for an
undetermined reason.

Witnesses credited Titov with maneuvering the plane away from those on
the ground.

"The engine had clearly stalled, and it was obvious he was trying to
make it to the field," said Cathleen Piasecki, who saw the plane swoop
over her home. "He died trying to avoid hitting our houses."

Another idiot wannabe aviation writer. I sent a complaining email. Of course,
I could be wrong: the NTSB official may well have said the "engine stalled". I
just have my doubts for some reason.

You have to look at the last paragraph of the story to see what I'm complaining
about. The writer clearly misquoted the NTSB official discussing another
Grumman crash involving the same company.

Nor do I. I used that bugmenot.com website the original post included to get
around it. I had to go through two name/password combinations before I found
one that worked on the newspaper site:

An AA1A is not a Tiger.
