Sad day in Yenko history
1 Attachment(s)
Today is a sad day in Yenko history. It is the anniversary day of Don Yenko's fatal plane crash.
The following is a quote from Don's grave site plaque "Oh I have slipped the surly bonds of earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings" RIP Don. Wish you were around to see how many people enjoy your creations. |

Re: Sad day in Yenko history
I have the full report but not with me. From what I remember they think it was a wind shear problem. Don came in for a normal looking landing on a clear day but the plane made a sharp turn, went off the runway and down a 300 foot ravine then hit a tree. Don and 3 friends were killed on impact.
