Each year I wait with eager anticipation for the Oshkosh edition of Flying Magazine. I’ve always had an itch to make it up there one-of-these-days, to take in all the sites of what’s been a life-long fascination with planes.



But with all the glamour of such a gathering, there are often things that don’t go as planned, like when a WWII war bird runs over a much smaller home built aircraft preparing to leave the 2006 Air Show.



A Grumman TBM-3, while taxiing down taxiway Papa which parallels runway 18 at the Wittman Regional Airport (OSH), Oshkosh, Wisconsin, ran over a Vans RV-6 aircraft, out of sight underneath the war birds nose.



The result was the loss of life of the passenger of the RV-6, with its pilot narrowly avoiding injury.



I’ve attached a couple of pictures of the accident sent by a friend of a friend that attended the air show. They might make you cringe a little, so be prepared.



Has anyone heard anymore details about how it happened besides what was in the NTSB report?
