Passengers OK, But Spartan Executive Out Of Competition
Sadly, there will be one less aircraft vying for the National
Aviation Hall of Fame’s "Best of the Best" People’s
Choice Award at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2007. The Experimental
Aircraft Association tells ANN the 1939 Spartan Executive slated to
be one of the six restored vintage airplanes in that competition
sustained extensive damage in a landing incident in South Dakota
Friday morning.
