A Note to Our Readers

Dear Readers,
We make a special effort here to record the facts as we receive them. At times, there may be error but we do try to use our best judgement at the time of posting, and will be glad to amend any details which are proved incorrect. Furthermore, even though we do not here discuss the human cost, we realize that losing anyone in an air accident is insurmountable tragedy to individuals, families and communities. We do extend our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss we record here. "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for..." us all.
Meditation XVII - (with apologies to) John Donne

Plane Falls in Pieces to Golf Course

What: small plane, probably (but not definitively) Forney Aircoupe from the Avon Park airport
Where: among trees between the 10th, 12th and 14th fairways in Golf Hammock, a golf community west of Sebring in Highlands County
When: 11:30 a.m. Saturday
Who: Pilot James Weener, and passenger James Richer
Why: Witnesses saw black smoke, heard the plane's engine over-revving, then the plane came apart and in fell in pieces from the sky. A witness said "Some small parts came off first, then the wing came off and the tail shot off. It just disintegrated in midair."
