ANN REALTIME REPORTING 07.31.08 1230 EDT: Two people were lost in a fatal accident involving a Lancair Legacy near Wittman Field in Oshkosh, WI Thursday morning.

EAA spokesman Dick Knapinski tells ANN the homebuilt high-performance aircraft stalled while on final approach to land on runway 27 at OSH. The plane impacted just short of the runway, and came to rest inverted.

FAA records indicate the accident aircraft was assembled in 2005, and is registered to a New York address.
