| Actually, both pilots in the VANS RV-8 died upon impact with the Velocity. The passenger in the Velocity, Donald Key, died of severe burns the following day. Donald Key was my uncle and a really good guy. I don't know the current status of the Velocity pilot, Ulrich Christen. If anyone knows Mr. Christen's status please email me at g.key@comcast.net. | |
