Subject: N23PH crash
Mime-Version: 1.0 (Apple Message framework v1082)

I just found out about this a few hours ago because I was away on a =
trip.
Peter's hangar is 10' behind mine at KMVL.
Peter wrote me an email earlier in the week saying he had about 5 hours =
on the newly overhauled (by Barrett) engine and was headed for NC end of =
the week.

reports of the content of the distress call are conflicting between oil =
pressure and fuel pressure.  =20
reports of origination in JFK don't match the flight aware track.  I =
think he left from KMVL and it looks like he went nonstop.
The flight aware track lasts three hours and 15 minutes but does not =
include some of the climb nor any of the descent.   I believe N23PH =
carries 60 gallons of fuel and has an IO-550 engine.
The picture on the second link shows  the plane all in one place but the =
right wing and the tail broke off, which seems to indicate a high =
vertical rate in a nearly level attitude.   ....and not much movement =
across the ground after impact.

Peter was involved in a Kitfox crash at KMVL in 2009.  That one was a =
problem with the ROTAX engine which was never diagnosed.
