The preliminary report from the NTSB:
On July 10, 2003, approximately 1310 mountain daylight time, N72615, a CASA 2.111, a replica of the Heinkel HE 111, operated by American Airpower Heritage Fly Museum, was destroyed during a forced landing 2 miles southeast of the Cheyenne, Wyoming, Airport. The airline transport certificated captain and first officer were fatally injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan had been filed for the cross-country flight being conducted under Title 14 CFR Part 91. The flight originated at Midland, Texas, approximately 1030, and was en route to Missoula, Montana.
Preliminary information indicates the tower controller cleared the pilot to land on runway 26. The airplane was observed on a 3-mile final approach when it entered a left bank. The controller asked the pilot his intentions and he replied, "We just lost our left engine." The airplane struck the ground, went through a chain link fence, struck a parked automobile, and slid into a school bus wash barn. The airplane and wash barn were destroyed in the ensuing fire.
