 Was involved in a runway collision at Arthur Dunn Airpark (X21) in Titusville FL with a Vans RV-8 on March 1, 2008. Pilot and passenger of N244CU survived crash, but aircraft was destroyed. Pilot of RV-8 was killed, number unknown.

 Actually, both pilots in the VANS RV-8 died upon impact with the Velocity. The passenger in the Velocity, Donald Key, died of severe burns the following day. Donald Key was my uncle and a really good guy. I don't know the current status of the Velocity pilot, Ulrich Christen. If anyone knows Mr. Christen's status please email me at g.key@comcast.net.
