Fatal crash of SIAI Marchetti SM-1019B

On July 24, 2021, an SIAI Marchetti SM.1019B, registration N28U, was destroyed following a loss of control and collision with terrain shortly after takeoff from Lewiston-Nez Perce County Regional Airport (KLWS), Lewiston, Idaho. The pilot, Navy aviator Dale “Snort” Snodgrass, was fatally injured. The Marchetti was owned by 717 Aviation Inc, and was being operated as a Part 91 flight.

With nearly 5,000 flight hours in the F-14 Tomcat, Snodgrass was the highest-time Tomcat pilot in the world. Snodgrass commanded Fighter Squadron 33 during Desert Storm, after which he was promoted to Navy Captain.

Nothing further at this time.
