I was very sad to hear of an aircraft accident near Whidbey Air Park near Langley, Washington. The RV-8 was being flown by one of our Paine Field WPA Chapter members, Marc Drake. Sadly Marc perished in the crash. Donna Depaoli, Marc’s passenger was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Donna received numerous injuries but fortunately none of them were life threatening.
