Grob Systems CEO Fatally Injured In Accident

Second Person Also Fatally Injured When Their Lancair Went Down Sunday

The CEO of Grob Systems was fatally injured in an accident Sunday in Hancock County, OH. Ralf Bronnenmeier has been identified as the pilot of a Lancair aircraft which went down at about 1:11 Sunday morning.

A second person on board the Lancair IV-P, identified by The Toledo Blade as 26-year-old Tiesha McQuinn of Toledo, was also fatally injured. The pair was reportedly flying from Holland, MI to Bluffton, OH when the plane went down.

Bronnenmeier had been flying since 2003, according to a report in the Courier newspaper in northwestern Ohio. He had learned to fly after being named the CEO of Grob Systems, citing the company's proximity to the local airport as getting him interested in flying.  He was appointed to Ohio Governor John Kasich's Executive Workforce Board in 2012.

Grob Systems is a subsidiary of Grob-Werke located in Mindelheim, Germany.
