Date & Time: 08/02/2020, 1904 CDT
Registration: N990SS
Aircraft: QUAD CITY CHALLENGER
Injuries: 2 Serious
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal
On August 2, 2020, about 1904 central daylight time, an experimental, amateur-built Quad City Challenger II Special airplane, N990SS, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Jonesboro, Louisiana. The pilot and passenger sustained serious injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.
Witnesses reported that the airplane flew over their house. They heard the engine "backfire" and then it seemed to lose power. The airplane entered a gliding right turn, apparently attempting to return to the airport; however, they lost sight of it when it descended below the tree line.
The accident site was located in a wooded area about 3/4-mile north-northeast of the airport. An engine examination is planned once the airplane is recovered from the accident site.
