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." Philadelphia Inquirer Full Article http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/n...l/11771461.htm (consult bugmenot.com if registration is requested) |

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. -- Mortimer Schnerd, RN VE |

An AA1A is not a Tiger.
