NASA Dryden Chief Engineer Marta Bohn-Meyer Lost In Aerobatic Accident
Dryden's Chief Engineer Lost In Oklahoma Mishap

The crash of an aerobatic plane in Oklahoma has claimed the life
of Marta Bohn-Meyer, chief engineer at NASA's Dryden Flight
Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base, CA, and a widely known
precision aerobatic pilot.

Bohn-Meyer, 48, died Sunday morning when the Giles G-300 (file
photo of type, below) she was flying crashed as she was
beginning an aerobatic practice routine near the C.E. Page Airport
in Yukon, OK, a suburb of Oklahoma City.

The crash is being investigated by the Federal Aviation
Administration.

In a message to NASA Dryden staff this morning, center director
Kevin Petersen said he was "deeply saddened" upon hearing of
Bohn-Meyer's tragic death.

"Marta Bohn-Meyer was an extraordinarily talented individual and
a most trusted technical expert and manager at NASA Dryden,"
Petersen said. "She committed her life and career to aviation and
the advancement of aeronautics and space in the United States. We
at Dryden will miss her tremendously."

"All the hearts and prayers of NASA Dryden go out to her husband
Bob and Marta's family," he added.

Bohn-Meyer had been employed as an aeronautical research and
operations engineer at NASA Dryden since 1979 following her
graduation from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, with a
Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical engineering. She was
