Subsequently, the pitch attitude increased, and the aircraft rolled to the right and completed a three-quarter turn right spin, impacting terrain in a near-vertical attitude.įour photographs show the right roll and descent of Dafoe’s Cessna 140 just before the crash on May 20, 2022. Multiple witnesses and video/photographic evidence showed that Dafoe’s Cessna 140 was the last within the group of five, and two landings had been performed without incident.ĭuring the third approach with the Cessna 140 on final approach and following a Zenith STOL 701 also on final, Dafoe’s aircraft descended and appeared to be lower than the airplane ahead. In order to limit pattern congestion, aircraft were placed into groups of five. A representative with STOL Drag informed the pilots that the flying was optional, and was not part of the formal competition. However, northwest gusting winds pushed the qualifiers to postpone the event until the next day.Īfter the decision to postpone was made, several competing pilots expressed a desire to perform traditional STOL (without any drag racing component) on the grass runway 31 given the favorable headwinds.Ī safety briefing was held with STOL Drag representatives, FAA inspectors, and pilots that wanted to fly in the traditional STOL. On the day of the accident, additional STOL Drag training was completed in the morning with qualifying STOL Drag races planned for later that afternoon. Tom Dafoe had been signed off for competition at a prior STOL Drag event. The NTSB has released its preliminary report on the accident that killed Tom Dafoe on May 20, 2022, who crashed his Cessna 140 airplane near the Wayne Municipal Airport (LCG) in Wayne, Nebraska, during a STOL event.Ī representative with STOL Drag Events, who was a participant in the 2022 Wayne County Mayday STOL Drag Races, said that the day before the accident, the event began with a short takeoff and landing drag racing (STOL Drag) training conducted on a course next to runway 5-23.
