I'm seeing reports of an aircraft crash in Chino, CA today. One article says it was a single engine Cessna, one article says it is Planes of Fame's N9M flying wing. Photos certainly appear to show a huge (and presumably fatal) impact.

By now I’m sure most are already aware that the aircraft involved was the Flying Wing from Planes of Fame Chino. A very tragic loss that has also taken the life of the pilot.

Thanks, I got busy writing and forgot to circle back. The pilot's name was passed around almost immediately but it was officially released today.
