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.
