Fire trucks at the airport around 8 am today. Pilot was pulled out of his plane which was partly on fire. Flown by helicopter to hospital.

Any idea what kind of plane it was? Reports seem to be converging on a two-place amateur-built scale replica of some kind. I suspect it was just a two-place homebuilt with a warbird-like paint scheme, but don't know what planes are based over there at Pitt.

Assistant Pitt Meadows Fire Chief Brad Perrie says the plane wasn't your traditional aircraft.

"It was what we call a kitplane. It wasn't like a homemade plane that you build at home. It was an actual kit that you can buy and assemble."

I wonder where you would assemble that... since you wouldn't do it at home, apparently... :roll:

Best wishes for a speedy recover to the pilot.

Homemade planes are built at home. A specific subset of homemade planes, the "kit" plane, are built in the Kitchen
