Group 2 on duty 

This evening we were notified by Shelburne Control Dispatch of a plane that had skidded off the runway at the Orange Municipal Airport.

All on duty and off duty were requested to the scene. Upon arrival of Eng 2 and Amb 1, a  4-Seater, Mooney plane which had been occupied x2 had skidded off the runway, and resting on the fuselage. Pilot and passenger had extricated the aircraft prior to  arrival and no injuries were reported, the pilot stated the landing gear did not lower, and a controlled landing “bellied in” w/out the landing gear was made. 

Crews remained on scene for a few hours to stabilize the aircraft using cribbing and airbags and assist the tow company with removal of the aircraft. The aircraft landing gear was then manually lowered and towed off the runway.

Thank you to Shelburne Control for coordinating this low-frequency event, Orange Massachusetts Police Department Jumptown Skydiving who were among the first to respond and check on the occupants,  airport staff for their expertise , and CO&S Towing for their professional rigging and hoisting of the plane.

An 80-year-old Vietnam Vet was reportedly the pilot and only person aboard a small plane that crashed in Palo Alto on Monday afternoon after coming into contact with power lines, KTVU reported. 

KTVU didn't share the pilot's name but interviewed his daughter who said that her father "flew Navy aircraft for years and likely relied on his muscle memory in making Monday’s difficult landing."

A Beechcraft 58P Baron struck power lines northeast of the Palo Alto Airport about 1:50 p.m. local time today, the Federal Aviation Administration said.



The pilot of a plane that reportedly experienced mechanical failure after taking off from the Palo Alto Airport Monday at 1:47 p.m. tried to return to the facility, only to crash into the marshland near the airport at 1:50 p.m., according to local officials and a flight-data website.

After takeoff, the twin-engine Beechcraft Baron 58P made a U-turn near Fremont's Dumbarton Point, then struck Palo Alto power lines and crashed landed, flight-tracking data shows. The impact sheared off a part of the plane's wing, which landed a couple hundred feet away from the aircraft.

"The plane landed on its belly," Palo Alto fire Battalion Chief Shane Yarbrough told this news organization.

The pilot didn't have significant injuries, according to the Fire Department.

The pilot was able to safely exit the aircraft and paramedics administered medical aid. He was taken to a hospital as a precautionary measure, Yarbrough said.

The plane carried 166 gallons of fuel, leading to fears of a fuel spill in the Baylands on Monday afternoon, according to emergency dispatch reports.

California Fish and Wildlife inspectors were called to assess any potential fuel spill and its effect on the wetlands, Yarbrough said.

City of Palo Alto spokesperson Meghan Horrigan Taylor said on Tuesday that some fuel spilled. City personnel, along with a cleanup contractor, were on-site yesterday containing and cleaning up the spill.

The small plane was visible, upright and resting on marshland just east of the Baylands Nature Interpretive Center. A hazardous waste team was called to the scene, as well as a helicopter crew from the California Highway Patrol.

The incident will be investigated by the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board, with NTSB in charge, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesperson said.

The plane is registered to Faford Aviation Leasing Company in Atherton, according to Federal Aviation Administration registry records. It was built in 1982 and is currently registered with the agency.

The plane took off from the airport, located at 1925 Embarcadero Road, 19 minutes ahead of schedule, according to flight-tracking website FlightAware.com. It ascended to an altitude of 450 feet. The trip covered 8 miles and lasted three minutes.



Palo Alto — A small plane crashed into a marsh near the Palo Alto Airport on Monday after striking power lines, the Palo Alto Fire Department said.

At about 1:50 p.m. Monday, the pilot of a Beechcraft Barron hit the wires and crashed into marshland surrounding the airport but was able to safely walk away, Palo Alto Fire Department Deputy Chief Kevin McNally said.

The male pilot was the only passenger on the aircraft and didn’t appear to have suffered any significant injuries, McNally said. The pilot was taken to a local hospital for precautionary purposes.

The plane is currently sitting on the marsh “fairly intact” and missing part of a wing and there’s a smell of fuel in the air but no visual sheen on what’s mostly dry vegetation.

The FAA said in a statement that it will release the tail number of the aircraft once investigators verify it at the scene. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate. The safety board will be in charge of the investigation and will provide all updates.

PG&E and Palo Alto Utilities do not show any significant power outages related to the crash in the area.

On September 13, 2021, at 1830 mountain daylight time, a Kolb Mark III airplane, N4365E, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The pilot sustained serious injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.

A witness reported that the pilot recently purchased the airplane and flew it with its previous owner. After trailering it to Colorado, the pilot removed it from the trailer and expanded its wings. The purpose of this first flight was to taxi the airplane several times to get used to the airplane and how it feels. He was then going to pack it up and take it to an airport with a large, paved runway.

The pilot taxied the airplane in circles for quite a while; “out of the blue” he decided to take off. The airplane lifted off the ground, but it didn’t appear to get the same lift it should have. The airplane cleared a couple fences, but only made it about 20 ft above the ground when the airplane’s nose suddenly lowered and impacted the ground. Consequently, the airplane’s forward structure sustained substantial damage.

The airplane was recovered to a secure location for further examination.

A small plane made an emergency landing in a field off of Routt County Road 44B west of Steamboat Springs around 6:30 p.m. Monday.

When Routt County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrived on scene, the aircraft was not on fire, but the pilot was unable to turn the engine off, according to scanner traffic.

Paramedics observed a laceration on the head of the pilot and told dispatch he was unable to move. Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue paramedics drove an ambulance out to near where the plane went down and were able to remove the pilot from the plane.

After very slowly driving back out of the field, the ambulance then headed for UCHealth Yampa Valley Medical Center to meet a Classic Air helicopter to airlift the pilot to Denver Health Medical Center, which is a Level 1 trauma center.

The Federal Aviation Administration was notified of the incident.

On September 13, 2021, about 1110 eastern daylight time, a Beechcraft C24R, N5246M, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident at Northeast Florida Regional Airport (SGJ), St Augustine, Florida. The two flight instructors and pilot rated passenger sustained minor injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 instructional flight.

According to the flight instructors, who were both employed by a flight school, they were getting “checked out” in the airplane. After conducting a preflight inspection, they taxied to the runway, then performed an engine run up; all systems and engine performance appeared normal. The flight instructor occupying the right seat attempted a short field takeoff from runway 13, which was about 8,000 ft long. After applying full power while holding the brakes, all engine indications were in the green and he commenced the takeoff roll. The airplane was airborne after a ground roll of about 2,000 ft, but as it climbed to about 150 ft above ground level, the airplane experienced a loss of engine power and “wouldn’t hold altitude or airspeed.” The flight instructor in the left seat took the controls and landed on the remaining runway; however, the airplane struck the approach lighting system, nosed over, and came to rest inverted in a marsh.

Initial examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector revealed that the fuselage and both wings sustained substantial damage.

The airplane was recovered for further examination.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Florida – Three people were injured Monday morning when a single-engine plane crashed into a marsh about 30 feet away from a runway at Northeast Florida Regional Airport, authorities said.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the Beechcraft C24R Sierra crashed into the marsh and flipped over while the pilot was trying to take off from the airport located just north of St. Augustine on U.S. Highway 1 about 10:10 a.m.

The Florida Highway Patrol said the airplane “failed to gain enough altitude for takeoff.”

James Langford told News4Jax he was outside his house when he heard a plane trying to rev and then a plop.

“I listen to the planes land and take off all the time. I knew this one didn’t make it,” he said. “I ran downstairs, came out here, and sure enough a plane in the marsh.”

Langford said he saw a man standing in the marsh grass next to the plane.

“I noticed that he was talking to somebody in the plane, so I knew there was somebody in the plane besides him,” Langford said. “They didn’t seem to be getting out. I knew it was more serious.”

The FAA said three people were on board. According to FHP, the pilot, a 67-year-old Ponte Vedra Beach man, was seriously injured, while the passengers — a 22-year-old West Palm Beach woman and a 23-year-old man from Holliston, Massachusetts — suffered minor injuries.

St. Johns County Fire Rescue was among the agencies that responded to the scene. The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will be investigating. The FAA said the NTSB will be in charge of the investigation.

The flight school that owns the plane declined to comment, saying it’s waiting on the results of the investigation.

According to News4Jax records, this was the third incident involving a plane at that airport this summer. A Cessna 152 crashed and burned on a runway on June 29. The FAA said a flight instructor and passenger aboard both died.

On July 17, a small plane was damaged when its landing gear collapsed. No one was hurt in that incident.

On September 13, 2021, about 1405 eastern daylight time, a Waco GXE, N8564, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Burt, New York. The airline transport pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.

According to the pilot, the airplane’s annual inspection was completed on the morning of the accident. During takeoff, the airplane departed the turf runway “normally,” and once it was inground effect, it would not climb any further even though the “engine was producing power just fine.” He elected to land the airplane in a nearby field to avoid trees in the flight path. During the landing, the airplane nosed over and came to rest inverted, which resulted in substantial damage to the wings and fuselage.

The airframe and engine were recovered and will be examined.
