Updated reports indicate that it was Ken Johansen in Skytyper 3 and he didn't make it. Very sad day for the team and all who knew Ken.

Here is the audio from KFRG Tower during the accident today. Skytyper 1 flight of 6 checks in at 13:40 in the audio. The crash is noticed by the tower at about 21:15 in the file, and they advise Skytype 1 who at the time was unaware as 5 and 6 were in trail, taking off later.
