The Port of Portland miss reported the aircraft type and number of POB.
Most are now aware it was indeed, a Columbia (Cessna - built in Bend,
OR) 400 attempting a landing in visibility far less than 1/4 mile.
After correcting the Port, they still would not talk to individuals with
the Columbia facility to confirm it was not experimental built in
Redmond.
The owner and Klamath Falls dermatologist (also a local Angel Flight
pilot)was the only POB.
After informing the Port that this was not an experimental or a Lancair
at around 9:10AM, the port continued to delete any reference to either
Cessna or Columbia. The wreckage took out a perimeter fence and the
remaining aircraft parts were on a perimeter road, not an active runway
as reported.
Let's hear it for telling the Public it was another experimental built
aircraft.

Reviewing the data from FlightAware it appears this may have been a
Columbia
400 that "arrived" at 8:07am. I couldn't ID any other AC arriving in
that
time period that could be considered a Lancair. A quick web search
turned up
no additional info.

Plane Carrying 4 Crashes, Burns at Portland International Airport; 1
Killed
PORTLAND, Ore. - A small plane crashed and burned Saturday at
Portland
International Airport, killing at least one person, the Federal Aviation
Administration said.
An FAA spokesman, Mike Fergus, told The Associated Press that the
plane, a
single-engine Lancaire, burned and scattered wreckage on the runway
after
crashing just short of it while trying to land.
Fergus said he did not know how many people were on board.
He said the plane was built in 2005 and certified as air-worthy.
Port of Portland spokesman Steve Johnson said the crash closed the
airport
for about 20 minutes until 9:30 a.m. He said three arrivals and five
departures were affected.
Visibility at the airport at the time of the crash was a quarter-mile
or
less, said Dan Keirns, a meteorologist with the National Weather
Service. It
was not immediately known if visibility was a factor.
The crash was near the west end of the south runway
