Safety record

Accident & incident history

1998-12-31 Accident · Esparto, CA Damage: Destroyed Serious injury NTSB · LAX99LA063
Reported aircraft: Richard Young Harmon Rocket II — a different aircraft that carried the N288M registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The owner's inadequate condition (annual) inspection, which failed to detect a loose fuel pump output line attachment fitting, which resulted in an in-flight fire. A factor in the hard landing and ground loop was the pilot's inability to see through the smoke filling the cockpit.
