- History of Flight:
On June 24, 2026, at about 1800 local time, an Air-Tech Quicksilver GT-400, N8019G, was destroyed when it impacted trees and terrain near Glennville, Georgia. The pilot was fatally injured.
The circumstances of the accident are unknown.
The pilot, aged 66, held a private pilot certificate which was last issued/updated on 2/26/2010 with a rating for airplane single engine land aircraft. His third class FAA medical was last issued on December 2020 with a note that he must wear corrective lenses.
The accident aircraft, serial number GT2801072, was a a single seat, high-wing, tricycle gear aircraft with a pusher configuration.
It is unknown whether the aircraft currently falls under the FAA's definition of an ultralight, which will determine whether the NTSB will investigate the event or not (there were no posts made by the NTSB in regards to this accident).
Another old "pilot" of a do-it-yourself kit plane bites the dust. When will the FAA ban these death traps to prevent stupid people from killing themselves? The FAA does consider this an EAB aircraft.
