The FAA and NTSB are investigating a fatal plane crash near Highway 90 between Katy and Brookshire in Waller County.
Roland Herwig, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration said a man, whose name has not been released, was flying a homebuilt aircraft at 1:30 p.m. Saturday when he crashed about two and a half miles southeast of Houston Executive Airport.
Herwig said the plane was a kit manufactured by Velocity Aircraft, but didn’t know which model. He said the National Transportation Safety Board and the Waller County Sheriff’s office continue to investigate.
