Default Wildcat crash in Houston

Last Saturday an FM2 (?) Wildcat was lost on final approach to Ellington Field
in Houston following the airshow. One fatality. I did not see the crash, but
watched his departure from the ramp. If anyone has any more info. on this
accident, please e-mail me.

Thank you,

Harry

I have posted all the local paper has had in it and also the NTSB
report.

Look for "Wildcat" and also "uote" threads (uote where I made a
mistake in titling my post.

Thanks for the postings. The B-25 made it back safely but the FM-2 did not.
The fire trucks went by my rig doing 80+ mph as I was about to exit the gate.
They were on scene within minutes. Unfortunately, there was nothing they could
do.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family,
