Pilot cuts engine midflight in attempted glide at airport resort
A pilot planning a pleasure and orientation flight before a concert at a hotel airport resort lost control of the engine after takeoff. Ground experts advised a shallow landing, but the pilot said he would cut the engine to glide in. Investigators found he turned off the engine over the runway instead of delaying until he was over it.
Montgomery Gentry and plane crash linked to maintenance error
The NTSB cited failure to rig the throttle control assembly as a factor in a fatal aviation crash that killed Gentry. Born in Lexington, Kentucky, Gentry formed the country duo with Montgomery, gaining No. 1 hits like Roll With Me and Back When I Knew It All. The band fused country with Southern rock and was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 2009, debuting Tattoos & Scars in 1999.
