PUEBLO COUNTY, Colorado – A single-engine DOSS Aviation plane made an emergency landing on Tuesday in an open field in Eastern Pueblo County, according to the Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO).

Pueblo County Sheriff’s Deputies were dispatched at about 9:50 a.m. to the area of DOT Road about a mile north of United Road on a report a small engine plane that made an emergency landing in the field.

A witness told deputies they reported seeing the airplane go down in the area and deputies located the plane, which had landed on its wheels, in a field located on private property approximately 500 feet from DOT Road.

The pilot told deputies he and a passenger had taken off earlier from the airport and were flying in the area when a fuel gauge indicated the plane was low on fuel, according to the PCSO.

The pilot said he declared an emergency and was able to steer the plane to the north and land safely in the field.

No one was injured and the plane was not damaged.

Deputies learned the plane belonged to DOSS Aviation, which is located near the Pueblo Memorial Airport.

The sheriff’s office notified the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) who took over the investigation into the incident.

Emergency personnel from numerous agencies in two counties responded at midday Tuesday to a reported plane crash on the Canadian River east of Francis. 

Initial reports indicated an aircraft was upside down on a sandbar on the Seminole County side of the river.

Rescue crews had difficulty reaching the scene due to lack of roads in the area and heavily wooded land. 

Within 30 minutes of the dispatch, an AirEvac Lifeteam medical helicopter was able to land at the scene and determine the aircraft was empty, and observed tracks leading away from the crash.



SEMINOLE COUNTY, Oklahoma (KXII) - No one was injured after an experimental plane crashed in Seminole County Tuesday afternoon.

The plane went down around noon east of Highway 377 near the Canadian River.

The FAA says a Zlin Aviation Savage Cub-S flipped while the pilot was practicing landing on a sandbar in the river.

The pilot was the only person onboard. The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office says they were not injured.

Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Personal

On November 15, 2020, about 1115 Pacific standard time, an Air Creation, Tanarg, weight-shift control trike, N912SU, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Pahrump, Nevada. The pilot sustained serious injuries. The aircraft was operated as a Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 91 personal flight.

According to the pilot, he had fueled the trike prior to take off with a total of 9 gallons of fuel in the tank. He flew about 6 miles east of the Calvada Meadows Airport (74P) and was performing shallow turns around a herd of wild horses, about 400 ft above the ground (AGL). After recovering from his last shallow turn, he realized he was low in altitude and applied throttle. The trike did not gain altitude and continued to descend to the ground. The pilot believed the engine was still running due to the three propeller blades all receiving damage after ground contact.

The trike came to rest upright in a gully populated with Joshua trees and vegetation. All major components of the trike remained attached to the airframe. The wings collapsed downward to the ground. The instrument panel separated but remained attached to the frame by wires. The three-blade composite propeller sustained damage to all blades. The trike was recovered to a private hangar for further examination.

On November 16, 2020, about 0604 Pacific standard time (PST), a Cessna 150L, N18666, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Colton, Oregon. The pilot and one passenger were fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.

The accident airplane was equipped with Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADSB).

According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic Control (ATC) archived recordings and ADS-B track data, the accident airplane departed from runway 34 at the McNary Field Airport (SLE) in Salem, Oregon at about 0515 PST, with a destination of Portland-Troutdale (TTD) Airport, Portland, Oregon. An instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan was filed and activated after departure. According to the FAA data, the pilot canceled his IFR flight plan shortly after departure, and advised ATC personnel that he intended to bypass TTD, due to worsening weather conditions, and that he was diverting to the Eastern Oregon Regional Airport at Pendleton (PDT), Pendleton, Oregon. ATC advised the pilot that there was precipitation depicted northwest of Mount Hood, and that the flight could obtain an IFR flight plan if needed. Shortly after flying toward PDT, the pilot again contacted ATC and requested to file a visual flight rules (VFR) flight plan to the Baker City Municipal Airport (BKE) Baker City, Oregon, via PDT. ATC asked to confirm the flight intended to fly south of Mount Hood and the pilot stated that they intended to fly north of Mount Hood along the Columbia River Gorge to PDT. ATC personnel reported to the pilot that there was light to moderate precipitation northwest of Mount Hood; however, south of Mount Hood appeared to be clear. The pilot acknowledged and stated the flight would stay south of Mount Hood if he could remain clear of terrain. ATC instructed the pilot to resume his own navigation and advised the pilot that he could have an IFR flight plan if needed, but the pilot declined.

The ADS-B track data revealed that about 10 minutes before the accident, the airplane had reached an altitude of about 7,000 ft mean sea level (msl), and was traveling southbound when it made a sequence of “S” type turns/maneuvers. About that time, the pilot contacted ATC and requested an IFR clearance to SLE; ATC asked to verify which airport the flight was requesting an IFR clearance to, and the pilot corrected himself and requested an IFR clearance to BKE. ATC then asked if the flight could maintain their own terrain and obstruction clearance through 9,000 ft msl. The pilot responded by declaring an emergency and stated that the airplane’s pitot system had become frozen. 

ATC observed the airplane descending and asked the pilot if he could climb and fly a heading of 280; the pilot responded that he thought he had been climbing. As the airplane continued to descent, the pilot requested ATC to state his altitude. According to the ADS-B data the airplane momentarily flew a heading to the northeast, and then appeared to enter a left-hand spiral type descent. ATC attempted to communicate with the pilot, with no response. A simultaneous loss of radar and communication occurred. ATC solicited an unrelated aircraft to assist in relaying communications, to which there was no response received. An FAA alert notice “ALNOT” was issued at about 0615 PST. The highly fragmented wreckage was subsequently located by search crews on November 17, about 0948 PST, in an area of steep-mountainous terrain, that was heavily wooded and had been burned by recent wildfires.

The airplane has not been recovered due to its location.

Jared Scott Sabin, 44, and Gavyn Scott Sabin, 19, of Salem, Oregon

Crews work to clear a remote logging road as they search for a missing plane carrying a father and son in Mt. Hood National Forest, November 18th, 2020.

PORTLAND, Oregon (KOIN) — A small plane missing over Mt. Hood National Forest since Monday has been found along with human remains, deputies said.

The search was hindered by treacherous, steep terrain burned by wildfires in September. Searchers finally located the crash site on Thursday and recovered the remains of two men, deputies said Friday. Autopsies are being carried out to confirm their identities.

The Cessna 150 was carrying a father and son — Jared Scott Sabin, 44, and Gavyn Scott Sabin, 19, both of Salem — when it left Salem on Monday. The pilot planned to stop in Troutdale before continuing on to Idaho and then Utah, according to the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.

But during the flight, the pilot contacted aircraft controllers and said ice was starting to form on the plane amid bad weather. The pilot said he wanted to change destinations and controllers lost contact with the plane a few minutes later.

A large search and rescue mission was launched involving multiple agencies, including a pararescue team with the U.S. Air Force Reserve Command and a Navy helicopter.

Wreckage was spotted Thursday in the Fish Creek area and rescuers on the ground reached the site by about 2 p.m.

Autopsies were scheduled for Friday.


Three Pararescue Specialists, known as PJ’s, and two Navy Search and Rescue Med Techs left Portland on a U.S. Navy MH-60 helicopter to the search location November 18th, 2020. 

PORTLAND AIR NATIONAL GUARD BASE, Oregon -- The 304th Rescue Squadron here sent three pararescue specialists to assist civilian agencies in locating a downed aircraft November 18th near Mt. Hood, Oregon.

Just after 6 a.m. on November 16th, the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office was made aware of a small plane may have crashed in a remote area of the Mt. Hood National Forest in Clackamas County.

The Cessna 150 left Salem, Oregon, that morning; the pilot planned to stop in Troutdale, Oregon before continuing on to Idaho and then Utah. The pilot reported having trouble due to bad weather and reported that ice was beginning to form on the plane. The pilot expressed his intent to change destinations. Air traffic controllers lost contact with the plane a few minutes later.

Clackamas County Sheriff's Office Search & Rescue (SAR) Coordinators launched a mission to locate and then respond to the presumed crash scene enlisting help from many local, state, and federal search agencies.

The downed aircraft is believed to have crashed in Fish Creek Basin, approximately seven miles from the closest access point. This is considered one of the more difficult wilderness areas to reach and wildfire damage has left the area additionally hazardous and difficult to navigate. Challenges include an elevation gain of nearly 7,000 feet, land and rock slides, fallen trees, and a lack of a navigable trail system. The search team was not able to reach the suspected site location on Nov. 17 due to these adverse conditions.

On Wednesday morning, civilian search and rescue personnel tried to locate a better access point using 4x4 vehicles but were unsuccessful.

A request came in to the 304 RQS for their expertise in personnel recovery in difficult terrain. Three PJ’s and two Navy Search and Rescue medical technicians left Portland on a U.S. Navy MH-60 helicopter to the search location. The search is on-going at the time of this news release.

The 304 RQS trains, equips, and deploys combat rescue officers, pararescue specialists, and support personnel worldwide in the interest of U.S. national security. The 304 RQS is part of the 943rd Rescue Group located at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, and is a geographically-separated unit of the 920 Rescue Wing at Patrick Air Force Base, Florida. 



U.S. Navy personnel have joined the search for two Salem men whose plane is believed to have crashed in rural Clackamas County earlier this week.

The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday said a Navy chopper was attempting to drop rescuers into the Fish Creek Basin area to investigate possible wreckage spotted by the Oregon Air Guard.

Jared Sabin, 44, and his son Gavyn Sabin, 19, are believed to have left Salem on Monday morning in a Cessna 150 for Troutdale, but they quickly encountered bad weather and told air controllers they were changing their destination. Controllers soon lost contact with them, but officials have determined what they believe is the general area of the crash.

Clackamas County Search and Rescue crews began searching for the plane crash Monday but have not been able to access the presumed crash site on foot due to difficult conditions, including landslides, elevation gain and impassable trails. Crews removed fallen trees on Wednesday, clearing about 14 miles of road and 2 miles of trail.

Just after 6 a.m. on Monday, November 16th, 2020, the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office was made aware of concerns from aircraft controllers that a small plane may have crashed in a remote area of the Mt. Hood National Forest in Clackamas County.

The Cessna 150L had left Salem, Oregon that morning; the pilot planned to stop in Troutdale before continuing on to Idaho and then Utah.

The pilot reported having trouble due to bad weather, and reported that ice was beginning to form on the plane. The pilot expressed his intent to change destinations; aircraft controllers lost contact with the plane a few minutes later.

Fearing the worst, controllers contacted the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff’s Office Search & Rescue (SAR) Coordinators launched a mission to locate and then respond to the presumed crash scene — enlisting help from:






as well as aircraft from the Civil Air Patrol, Hood River County Sheriff’s Office, and Oregon Army National Guard. Sheriff’s Office deputies are also deploying a drone to the area to help search the rugged terrain.

The mission has presented several complex factors — including pinpointing the plane’s exact location and navigating the complex, wildfire-damaged terrain.

Limited coordinates place the aircraft in the likely general area of Fish Creek, an area affected by the unprecedented September wildfires.

On Tuesday, November 17th, a CSAR hasty team attempted to reach the area the plane is believed to have crashed: in the Fish Creek Basin, approximately seven miles from the closest access point. This is considered one of the more difficult wilderness areas to reach in Clackamas County, and wildfire damage has left the area additionally hazardous and difficult to navigate; challenges include an approximate 7,000-foot elevation gain, land and rock slides, fallen trees, and a lack of a navigable trail system. The hasty team was not able to reach the site on Tuesday due to these adverse conditions.

Today (Wednesday, November 18th), search-and-rescue personnel tried to locate a better access point to the likely crash location using 4×4 vehicles, but were unsuccessful.  A request went out to the 304th Pararescue Squadron with the U.S. Air Force Reserve Command. At this writing, a U.S. Navy helicopter will soon deploy out of Whidbey Island, WA to pick up the pararescue crew and drop them in the wilderness in another attempt to locate the crash and any casualties or survivors.

At this writing, searchers have yet to spot any confirmed wreckage, despite drone and aircraft surveys of the area. There are currently six likely candidates for a crash area, based on possible final coordinates submitted by Seattle Center air-traffic controllers.

Missing are a father and son: Jared Scott Sabin, 44, and Gavyn Scott Sabin, 19, both of Salem. It is unknown at this time who was piloting the missing aircraft.

This is an ongoing mission. Updates will be posted when available.

There is no staging location for media at this time.



CLACKAMAS COUNTY, Oregon — A father and son went missing while flying in a small plane that presumably crashed in the Mount Hood National Forest early Monday, according to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office. 

The missing persons were identified as Jared Sabin, 44, and Gavyn Sabin, 19, both of Salem. Authorities are not sure who was flying the plane. 

The pair flew out of Salem in a Cessna 150 aircraft with plans to stop in Troutdale before continuing to Idaho and Utah. Around 6 a.m. Monday, air traffic controllers notified the sheriff's office that a plane may have crashed in a remote wilderness area.

The pilot reported having difficulty flying because of poor weather conditions and said ice was beginning to form on the plane. Air traffic control lost contact a few minutes later, authorities said. 

The plane is believed to have crashed in the Fish Creek Basin south of Estacada. The presumed crash site is roughly seven miles from the closest access point.

"This is considered one of the more difficult wilderness areas to reach in Clackamas County, and wildfire damage has left the area additionally hazardous and difficult to navigate; challenges include an approximate 7,000-foot elevation gain, land and rock slides, fallen trees, and a lack of a navigable trail system," the sheriff's office said in a release. 

The sheriff's office deployed a search-and-rescue team that tried to find the crash site on Tuesday and Wednesday, but their attempts were not successful. 

No wreckage has been located despite drone and aircraft surveys of the area. 

The sheriff's office has requested the deployment of a U.S. Air Force Reserve pararescue crew to drop them into the wilderness so they can try to find the crash site as well as any casualties or survivors.
