- History of Flight:
On November 6, 2026, at about 1547 local time, a privately-registered Aeronca O-58B Grasshopper, N47299, sustained unknown, but apparent minor damage when it struck a person on the ground at Catalano Airfield (1NK6), Wilmington, New York. The pilot was not injured, but that individual sustained fatal injuries. The local flight originated from the airfield.
The FAA reported that the airplane was taxiing after landing to the hangar when it struck a photographer and her tripod. The photographer saw the airplane approaching and tried to remove her tripod.
The Aeronca L-3 was a series of high-wing conventional (tailwheel) landing gear airplanes with tandem seats used for observations in WW2. The airframe height was 9 ft and 1 inches, and the wing span was 35 ft.
