Was Reportedly Trying To Save Vintage Hellcat
Famed Reno racer Art Vance died Saturday when the WWII-vintage
Grumman F6F Hellcat he was flying crashed shortly after take-off
from the Gatlinburg-Pigeon Forge Airport in Tennessee. The aircraft
had been on display at the Tennessee Museum of Aviation for several
weeks, but reportedly did not undergo any type of maintenance or
refueling operations during that time.
