Toyota engineer who helped develop Prius dies in plane crash

From above news source - "Dave Hermance was a dedicated pilot. Authorities believe he was the only person aboard his single-engine Interavia E-3 when it crashed Saturday afternoon off Los Angeles.

Witnesses said they saw the plane — a two-seat Russian aerobatic model that can be built from a kit — performing loops and dives before it plunged straight down.

A search team found the wreckage in 60 feet of water Sunday morning, county Fire Capt. Mark Savage said. Hermance's body was found floating on the surface."
