BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The head of Idaho memory chip maker Micron
died Friday morning when the small experimental plane he was piloting crashed at
the Boise airport, the company said.

Appleton, a former motocross racer, was the only one in the plane Friday. Ada
County dispatch received reports of a plane that was on fire before it landed,
and airport spokeswoman Patti Miller said the aircraft was a fixed-wing prop
plane Lancair, which is built from kits.

That's a shame. I saw him flying his Hawker Hunter at the DMAFB about ten years ago.
