On May 14, 2022, about 1430 Pacific daylight time, a Piper PA-12 airplane, N3960M, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Enterprise, Oregon. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.

The pilot reported that shortly after departure from runway 30, about 700 ft above ground level, he noted oil spray on the windshield and entered the downwind leg of the traffic pattern with the intent of landing on the departure runway. He reported that he was too high and aborted the landing. He reported that on the second attempt to land on runway 30, the oil spray was worse, and he “flew the plane onto the ground” east of the airport. The airplane impacted the ground resulting in substantial damage to the fuselage.

The wreckage was relocated to a secured facility for further examination.

July 14, 2014:  Aircraft landed gear up at Victoria Regional Airport (KVCT), Texas.

M C Flyers LLC






A plane crash landed Monday afternoon at the Victoria Regional Airport. 

Officials knew about 12:55 p.m. that the pilot, Stanly Heckrodt, of Victoria, was struggling to put down the landing gear at the nose of his 1980 Cessna T210N, said Victoria County Fire Marshal Ron Pray.

At 1:14 p.m., the situation was declared an emergency, and city and county firefighters responded to the scene at 609 Foster Field Drive.

Heckrodt initially left Victoria and was bound for Corpus Christi but came back to the Victoria Regional Airport when he realized the problem, Pray said.

There, Heckrodt circled for about 10 or 15 minutes to burn off fuel before crash landing at the 13 right runway, Pray said.

Heckrodt, whose age was not available, was not injured.

There was no one else in the plane.

"He knew he was going to have to crash land," Pray said. "He did a real good job."

The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash.

Last year, there were two emergency crash landings at the Victoria Regional Airport.

This was the first emergency crash landing this year, Pray said.

VICTORIA - A man in charge of saving lives was the one who needed saving Monday.

 A Victoria doctor, who is also a pilot, was forced to make an emergency crash landing at the Victoria Regional Airport.

While in flight to Corpus Christi, the pilot, Dr. Stan Heckrodt, contacted a tower in Houston and told them he was unable to get his nose gear down.

Air traffic officials tried to assist, but the plane was not responding.

Then around 1:00p.m., the Houston tower asked Victoria airport officials for help.  Heckrodt would have to perform an emergency crash landing at the airport.

Fire officials said they pulled out all the stops to prepare as there's no way to make that kind of landing safely.

“The pilot did the best that he could to land the plane. I mean it didn't land safely, it crashed. So at this point, he’s down, he’s safe, he’s not injured, and there’s no fire or other damage to the plane other than what happened in the initial crash, so were thankful for that,” Victoria County Fire Marshal Ron Pray said.

The Cessna 210 suffered damage to the front end of the plane and to the prop. The National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are investigating the crash.

Officials said this is the first crash landing at Victoria Regional Airport this year. There were two in 2013.

Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Personal

On May 17, 2022, about 1751 central daylight time, an American Aviation AA-1A, N6409L, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Cleburne, Texas. The student pilot sustained fatal injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.

A review of automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) data revealed that the airplane departed Cleburne Regional Airport (CPT) about 1309 and flew to Clifton Municipal Airport (7F7), Clifton, Texas. The pilot departed 7F7 with a passenger and flew to Roger M. Dreyer Memorial Airport (T20), Gonzales, Texas. The airplane was refueled at T20 and flown back to 7F7, where the passenger disembarked. About 1734, the pilot departed solo from 7F7 to return to CPT.

About 5 miles south of CPT, the airplane made a left turn about 200 to 300 ft above ground level (agl) to the west of the pilot’s house while on a south heading and a groundspeed of about 70 knots. The airplane subsequently turned right and flew to the west of the pilot’s house about 200 to 300 ft agl while on a north heading and a groundspeed of about 90 knots. The airplane continued turning right and then rapidly descended. Witnesses reported very strong and gusty wind from the south at the time of the accident.

The airplane impacted a grassy field with a nose down attitude and minimal forward momentum. The airplane came to rest upright on a northwest heading, with both wings crushed downward. The tail section was twisted slightly to the right of the fuselage as viewed from the rear of the airplane. Two propeller strike ground scars about 3 ft apart were located immediately in front of the wreckage.

All flight control surfaces were accounted for at the accident site, and continuity was confirmed from the control surfaces to the cockpit. The wing flaps were in the retracted position. The wing fuel tanks were breached but fuel was observed in each tank. The carburetor was disassembled and one of the brass floats exhibited hydraulic crushing. No evidence of pre-impact mechanical malfunctions were observed during examinations of the engine and airframe.

Joshua Bo Kirkpatrick


Joshua "Bo" Kirkpatrick, 41, of Cleburne, TX unexpectedly began his journey in heaven on May 17, 2022 at 5:52p.m. doing what he loved!
Bo was born on June 6, 1980 in Arlington, TX to Ann and Mike Kirkpatrick. He graduated Joshua HS in 1998. He was known to be adventurous during his teenage years; just ask his older brothers.

Bo was blessed with a loving family. He met Hilary, the love of his life in 2002 and they married on June 28, 2003 in Burleson. Their love granted them with two beautiful children, Camden Bo and Kamree Anne who were his greatest joys.

One of his many passions was his partnership with Justin McIntosh with Seco Creek Services where his business acquaintances and employees were more like family. He worked hard over the years to provide for his family and recently settled in "their dream home" on 5 acres where they spent time together making memories to last a lifetime.

Bo was always the life of the party and lived his life to the fullest. He had the biggest heart and would do anything he could to help those in need. He loved cooking, hunting, fishing and the great outdoors. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.

Bo was preceded in death by his mother, Ann Kirkpatrick; Grandparents, Bob Carter and Sonny & DeeDee Kirkpatrick; Uncle, Pat Kirkpatrick and Aunt, Jan Rose.

He leaves behind his wife, Hilary; Son, Camden; Daughter, Kamree; Father, Mike Kirkpatrick; Grandmother, Theresa Carter; Brothers, Trey (Hope) and Bucky (Lisa) Kirkpatrick, Nieces & Nephews, Blayne, MacKenzie, Allie, Hayden, Rafe & Lukas; In-Laws, Patrick (Terri) Wiggam; Sister-in-law, Kristen Caldwell; and many other friends and family.

A "Celebration of Life" will be held on Tuesday, May 24, 2022 at 2:00 p.m. at Bethel Temple Assembly of God, 600 S. Colonial Dr., Cleburne, TX. Flowers may be sent to Rosser Funeral Home, 1664 W Henderson St., Cleburne. Thereafter, contributions may be made in honor of his children via VENMO @KirkpatrickBenefitFund.
