I didn't know there was another CTLS at KSAF beyond Bonnie's N505MA. AIN says this is N527TS.The men are identified as pilot David D. Spencer, 78, and his passenger Rafael J. Chaves, 71. They were transported separately by helicopter to a hospital in Neenah, Wis., according to the Fond du Lac Reporter.
Witnesses said the plane — a two-seat fixed-wing CTLS model aircraft manufactured by Flight Design — appeared to have a mechanical problem shortly after taking off and was trying to return for a landing about 8:20 a.m. Thursday. It banked abruptly and crashed in an open field several hundred yards from the runway.
