A preliminary investigation suggests there was confusion among pilots just before a fatal mid-air collision at the National Championship Air Races last month but sheds little light on why
. The National Transportation Safety Board released a four-page report Wednesday with some of the few details investigators have pieced together in their preliminary probe of the cause of the Sept. 17 crash that killed veteran California pilots Chris Rushing of Thousands Oaks and Nick Macy of Tulelake.
“Shortly after, he observed Rushing where he expected him to be in level flight ... briefly before it began to roll to the right and descend,' the report said. Another witness stated that when the collision occurred Macy was at about a 75-degree angle headed downward in relation to Rushing's path, the report said. A final report on the cause of the crash at the airport just north of Reno isn't expected to be completed for at least another year.
