Just saw it on Fox News, plane lands on highway 40 in TN, pilot killed, cant find the story anywhere on the internet.
 
I wish the media would hurry up and get something online
 
The weather in that part of TN was low, and deteriorating at the time of the crash. If it wasn't an aircraft problem, my bet would be scud running over the interstate towards better weather further west of the mountains, and hitting a power line.

AWG and total speculation. But not an unusual event in this part of the country.
 
That would be my best guess too. The ceilings here in TYS weren't too stellar. From what I've read, he was enroute from Sevierville to Little Rock for an airshow appearance.

Wow ... having driven a lot in that part of the state, the idea of having to thread the mountains in a scud run is terrifying. He must have really been out of options.

God speed, pilot.

Sad

It is a sad thing that the pilot died but these confederate air force and rich guys are steadily crashing our national heritage. I would like it much better if these things were firmly tied down in a museum.
