On July 7, 2024, about 1800 mountain daylight time, a Fantasy Air SRO Allegro 2007, N969RC, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Eureka, Utah. The pilot was fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. Review of preliminary ADS-B derived data provided by commercially available source, showed that the airplane departed Spanish Fork Municipal Airport/Woodhouse Field, Spanish Fork, Utah at 1558. The data showed that the airplane flew on a westerly heading and maneuvered within the vicinity of Eureka. Acquaintances of the pilot stated that it was common for him to land on Holmansville Pass Road, north of Eureka, and hike within the area. Witnesses who were driving in the area recalled seeing the accident airplane parked off the road about 1626. The airplane was later discovered in an adjacent field about 1,200 ft west of the road about 1818. Examination of the accident site revealed that the airplane came to rest in a nose down attitude, in an open prairie on a heading of about 120° magnetic. The aft section of the fuselage was displaced to the right. Both wings remained attached to the fuselage. The leading edge of the right wing was compressed aft to the main spar. The engine was compressed aft into the cockpit. All major structural components of the airplane were accounted for at the accident site. The airplane was recovered to a secure location for further examination.
