NAMPA (AP) - The pilot of an experimental aircraft that crashed at the Nampa Municipal Airport in southwestern Idaho has died.

Nampa Police Lt. Eric Skoglund says 65-year-old Alan R. Clark was attempting high speed maneuvers on the runaway at the time of the crash on Monday.

Witnesses say the aircraft flipped, trapping Clark underneath.

Clark, a resident of Nampa, was taken to a local hospital before he was pronounced dead.

The Nampa Airport, which has general and corporate aviation traffic, reopened at about 4 p.m. after authorities cleared the wreckage from near the runway.
