Warbird Pilot Dick James Killed in Fond du Lac County Crash
July 27, 2005 - EAA is saddened to report that a World War II-era aircraft that had participated in our "Warbirds" air show Tuesday afternoon crashed in Fond du Lac County as it was staging to participate in a later segment of the show, resulting in the death of the pilot, Dick James of Fennimore, Wisconsin.
The accident occurred in a rural area in the northeastern part of the county. The Fond du Lac County Sheriff's Office and the National Transportation Safety Board, with assistance from the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office, are spearheading the investigation.
The entire EAA family, especially the EAA Warbirds of America, offers our sincerest condolences to the James family.
