Airdisaster.Com Forums - OSKOSH Disaster: "A 63-year-old man from Canada was killed Sunday when a Navy warbird's propeller hit a Canadian-registered homebuilt aircraft on a taxiway at Wittman Regional Airport at about noon Sunday.


A Grumman TBM World War II Navy airplane taxied up behind a homebuilt R.V.6 and as it caught up with the significantly smaller homebuilt, the Grumman's propeller sliced into the R.V.6. The passenger in the side-by-side seat R.V.6 was pronounced dead at the scene while the pilot of the aircraft was not injured, authorities said. "
