L-29 Down In Texas, Two Fatally Injured

Possibly An Airplane Owned By The Cold War Air Museum

An L-29 Delfin went down Thursday near Scurry in Kaufman County, TX, resulting in the fatal injury of both people on board the airplane. It is possible that the aircraft belonged to the Cold War Air Museum at Lancaster Regional Airport (KLNC) southeast of Dallas.

Television Station KTVT reports that the airplane went down between Ennis and Kaufaman, TX. Those on board have not been officially identified.

The weather at the time of the accident was said to be clear, and no flight plan had been filed.

The L-29 was manufactured in what was then Czechoslovakia during the cold war as a training airplane. Dallas County Constable R. l. Skinner told the station that there had been about 3,600 of the aircraft manufactured for the then-Soviet Union in the 1960s and 1970s. He said that it is a "forgiving airplane" to fly, and that Lancaster Field is home to as many as eight L-29s. "It has a very good safety record," Skinner said.

Skinner has both imported and flown the L-29. He said that it was possible that the two people on board the accident airplane were friends of his connected with the museum.
