Tom Gourley On April 23, 2008, at 0709 mountain standard time (MST), a Carlton Cadwell Lancair IV-P, N25CL, experimental amateur built airplane, experienced a loss of control during takeoff and subsequently impacted into a orange grove near Falcon Field Airport (FFZ), Mesa, Arizona. Boehle Aviation LLC, was operating the airplane under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91.
