Wall Twp Plane crash
The plane that crashed in Wall Twp was a Cessna 337 Sky Master, not a 172. The news keeps repeating the mistake over and over. It does not take much effort to look up the N-number in the FAA's data base. If I was a betting person I would guess the NTSB will conclude that the pilot initiated a low altitude high speed pass that exceeded the Sky Master's VNE (never exceed speed), this led to catastrophic failure of some of the airframe components. Its way to early to speculate, but unfortunately I witness reports seem to indicate that the pilot was buzzing friends or family on the ground. This is a all to common accident in General Aviation, that is highly avoidable.
