Student Ticket Had Expired June 30th
The person flying a
Cessna 150 (file photo, below) which went down over the weekend
near Mayflower, Arkansas had held a student pilot's license, but it
had expired on June 30th and was not re-issued, according to the
FAA.
Little Rock Television Station KATV reports 42-year-old Merrel
Blalock was recovering from two broken vertebrae suffered in the
accident. He was departing from a field where he had landed to
visit friends.
The cause of the accident is still under investigation.
Witnesses told the television station that the airplane seemed to
lose power shortly after takeoff. FAA spokesman Roland Herwig said
they would have the final determination as to whether Blalock was
able to legally operate the aircraft. He was the only one on board
at the time on the accident.
