Aircraft on the NTSB record: Shannon Kevin RV-8 · serial 80874

The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed during a forced landing, which led to an aerodynamic stall, following a loss of engine power due to fuel exhaustion. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's mismanagement of fuel and the low altitude at which the power loss occurred.
