Registered operator of JON is from Hampton East, whereas NOJ is John Johanson's RV-4.
That is what I meant when someone said JON was a famous little aeroplane. I don't whether JON ever was, but NOJ certainly was.

Yes, mistaken identity....appols on that.
OZBUS, I must admit that my heart was in my mouth for a few seconds until I realised that the rego was the wrong way around.

A fellow aviator has passed. He pushed the throttle open as most of us do everyday and it ended tragically. His family are hurting, so are his friends.
So are we to gather from that you were a friend of the deceased? If so, sorry. But you know how this forum works, so why complain? If you don't like the comments, don't read them - simple!

My heart is in my mouth DF no matter which aircraft crashes as I'm sure we all feel that way when someone departs us. It's been happening far too much lately.

You can gather whatever you wish, however comments (since deleted) about the possible crash sequence and the intentions of the pilot are just plain dumb unless the individual posting them is a. At the scene and b. A trained crash investigator. Simple!

Oh and how and I supposed to know if I like a comment or not if I dont read them? Simple!

DF, when I saw that bit of green and then the reported rego....dislexicme...My heart sank as well.

Equally, this is still a tragic outcome.

Always sad. I note that this aircraft was fitted with a Honda V6 engine so I think the ATSB will have an even greater interest than perhaps normal.

Experimental aircraft + experimental engine. ATSB will have minimal interest...except isn't this the Third RV6 fatal crash this year?

Not necessarily it seems, a mate of mine was killed in a c210 (charter) years ago, insurance company were the only ones to investigate.

Fred you are correct.

But I am sure we are both about to get told off and that we are "yr wrong"

The ATSB has deployed three investigators to the accident site. The investigators have specialisations in aircraft operations and engineering. They are expected to arrive on site Wednesday morning (15 October 2014). It is expected they will remain on site for two to three days.
