Location: Walker, MN 
Accident Number: CEN20LA374
Date & Time: 09/01/2020, 2007 CDT
Registration: N8957W
Aircraft: PIPER PA28
Injuries: 1 Fatal
Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal 

On September 1, 2020, about 2007 central daylight time, a Piper PA-28-235 airplane, N8957W, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident in Walker, Minnesota. The pilot was fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 personal flight.

The flight originated at Hardy-Anders Field Natchez-Adams County Airport (HEZ), Natchez, Mississippi, about 0912, and landed at Kirksville Regional Airport (IRK), Kirksville, Missouri about 1303. According to records obtained from the FBO at IRK, the pilot purchased 76.1 gallons of 100 low lead aviation gas. The airplane departed IRK about 1436 with an intended destination of Bemidji Regional Airport (BJI), Bemidji, Minnesota.

While inbound to BJI and receiving services from Minneapolis Air Route Traffic Control Center (ZMP ARTCC), controllers became concerned about the pilot possibly suffering from hypoxia based on altitude and course deviations, and slow communication responses. ZMP controllers directed the pilot to divert to St Cloud Regional Airport (STC), St. Cloud, Minnesota, airport for medical assistance and subsequently declared an emergency for the pilot. Upon landing at STC the pilot was met by emergency medical services. The pilot refused medical treatment and then departed VFR from STC without air traffic services to BJI. According to the FBO at STC, the airplane was not serviced with fuel before departure.

Preliminary radar data indicated the airplane departed STC and flew northeast and climbed to about 4,000 ft mean seal level (msl). As the airplane approached the BJI terminal area, a line of adverse weather was observed over the intended route of travel and radar data showed the airplane made several course deviations (Figures 1 and 2). The airplane turned east, completed two 360° turns, then continued southeast headed away from BJI. The airplane then entered a course reversal, and turned northwest back toward BJI. During these deviations, the airplane descended to about 2,000 ft msl and then climbed back to 4,000 ft msl and continued to climb and descend before entering a continued climb to about 7,000 ft msl followed by a continual descent toward the ground. The last target was at 2007:39.

The airplane wreckage was located in Leech Lake, about 31 miles southeast of BJI, in about 12 ft of water. The fuselage and tail section were intact; the wings had separated from the airplane but were still connected by cables.

Dr. Thomas Archer Borum
December 30, 1957 - September 01, 2020

Dr. Thomas Archer Borum, D.V.M., 62, died while in the last few minutes of his travels on Tuesday evening September 1. He was flying his Piper PA-28-235 Cherokee 235 from Natchez, Mississippi to his destination in Bemidji, Minnesota where he had contracted to work with Dr. Andrew Piller and the Bemidji Veterinary Hospital. He loved nothing more than flying.  

We will gather to worship and give thanks to God and remember and celebrate Tom's life when we meet Friday morning Sept 11 at 10 a.m. at the sanctuary of First Presbyterian Church at 117 S. Pearl St.  in Natchez, Mississippi. There is plenty of room and safe social distancing will be observed. Please remember to wear a face covering.  Rev. Dr. Joan Gandy will lead the worship. There will then be a short graveside service at Greenlawn under the direction of Laird Funeral Home followed by refreshments at the home of his brother Dr. Charles Borum at Soldier's Retreat 20 Trails End Road. Everyone is invited.

Tom was born in Natchez, MS. He was baptized and later, as a young man, confirmed as a member of the congregation of First Presbyterian Church in Natchez. He was a B.S.A. Eagle Scout and as an adult he continued to volunteer his time with local Scout Troops and the Andrew Jackson Council Camp at Hood Scout Reservation. He graduated in 1976 from South Natchez Adams County High School. He then graduated from Mississippi State University with a B.S in Biomedical Engineering followed by his degree as Doctor of Veterinarian Medicine at M.S.U. He established the Borum Veterinary Clinic in Natchez in 1985. Then he went on to work as a law enforcement officer with the Natchez Police Department and the Adams County Sheriff Department and also completed certification as a Mississippi Drug Recognition Expert. He completed his B.S. degree in Criminal Justice through the Central Christian College of Kansas and graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2018. Tom volunteered flying time with the Angel Flight organization and he was crucial in helping Jay and Kathy Fitch establish the Hoofbeats and Pawprints Animal Rescue organization in Jefferson County, MS.

He is preceded in death by his fraternal grandparents Charles S Borum, Sr. and Marie Clark Borum Longmire, maternal grandparents Nathan D. Calhoun and Nancy V. Hall Calhoun and father Dr. Charles S.
