<VV> Yenko Chevrolet

[Nick Elzinga]

Just to expand a little on Don Yenko's demise.  He was co-piloting a Learjet
35A registration N100EP which took off from an airfield in West Mifflin,
Pennsylvania on May 12, 1987.  The flaps had not been extended for take-off
and the aircraft crashed into a wooded area shortly after lift off and
caught fire.  Neither of the crew survived.

I think Yenko Chev changed ownership and name in the early 80's (the '81ish
Yenko Camaro being the last Yenko car built). Don died in a plane crash in 
1987, leaving Donna Mae Mimms as the most direct living contact to the
Stingers.
