NTSB accident and incident record under N977RV
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Vans RV7 · serial 71409
The pilot’s improper decision to fly the airplane into known adverse weather and icing conditions which resulted in a loss of control.
Aircraft on the NTSB record: Driver RV-7 · serial 71409
The RV-8 pilot’s failure to account for the position of the RV-7 behind him during the landing roll in a staggered landing formation, which resulted in a ground collision of the two airplanes. Contributing to the accident was the self-induced pressure created by the airshow environment to land, stop, and get off the runway into the grass as quickly as possible.
