I just happened to see this story.
FAA investigating Kern County ultralight fatality
http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/FAA-investigating-Kern-County-ultralight-fatality-3784692.php
SHAFTER, Calif. (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration is trying to determine what caused an ultralight airplane to crash in Central California, killing its pilot.
Authorities say the crash occurred at dusk on Sunday in a rural, Kern County farming community south of Shafter. Fire crews were able to quickly reach the 44-year-old pilot, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. _________________ Mountains always have the right of way.
