Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - Angoon resident Frank Jim and his daughter Lovey were in the airplane that was first to arrive on the scene on Tuesday at Middle Point, where a small plane went into the water on the backside of Douglas.

He says they saw the plane as it approached the water.

"We saw a plane coming across the other side of the bay," Jim said. "We were about to meet each other at the same time, and I thought that plane was flying low and going down. I tapped on my daughter's shoulder and said it looks like it's going down."

The airplane's occupants were reported swimming to shore after it made contact with the water. Jim says he saw the plane hit the water and flip over.

"All of the sudden it hit and flipped over," Jim said. "We told the pilot, so he circled around and you could see those guys swimming to the beach."

Jim says he reported the plane crash to the US Coast Guard.

The occupants of the plane were taken to Statter Harbor to receive medical attention.

Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General aviation - Instructional

On June 07, 2022, about 0930 Pacific daylight time, a Beech 77 Skipper, N18244, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident in Hemet, California. The student pilot sustained fatal injuries. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 instructional flight.

According to the student pilot's flight instructor, the pilot was authorized to depart Redlands Municipal Airport (REI), Redlands, California and fly about 22 NM south to Hemet-Ryan Airport (HMT), Hemet. The accident flight was the pilot’s second solo cross-country flight from REI to HMT. A witness that was operating in the HMT traffic pattern reported that he had just departed runway 23 and was making left traffic. The witness was on the upwind leg of the pattern when he heard the accident pilot make a radio call over the Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) that stated, “Right downwind for 23, I have no power.” The witness continued to the downwind leg and saw the accident airplane about midfield, over the runway and descending through about 150 ft above ground level (agl). The witness observed the accident airplane flying at an airspeed that he identified as a faster than normal approach speed, as the airplane passed over the departure end of runway 23 about 100 ft AGL. The witness lost sight of the airplane, and shortly after observed a plume of smoke.

According to a second witness that was monitoring the CTAF during their employment shift, reported that the accident airplane made two touch and go landings, and aborted the third landing on runway 23. According to the witness, the airplane did not touch down on the runway and remained about 30 ft agl. Shortly after, a distress call was transmitted over the CTAF stating, "I am declaring an emergency, loss of power." The witness recalled that the airplane made a left turn and touched down on the soft dirt surface of a plowed vegetation field. Ground markings in the dirt surface revealed that the airplane bounced twice during the landing roll. The total ground roll distance was about 665 ft and veer right, prior to the airplane crossing a residential roadway. The airplane then collided with a retaining wall located on the east side of the road. The airplane's engine, cabin, left wing root, and the right wing breached the cinder block retaining wall and sustained thermal damage. The aft fuselage and the empennage did not breach the wall and did not sustain thermal damage.

A small plane crashed in the backyard of a home in Hemet on Tuesday morning, June 7, seriously injuring the pilot and just barely missing the house.

The crash was reported at about 9:30 a.m. along Warren Road, near Mustang Way, Hemet police said in a news release.

The pilot, the sole occupant of the craft, was rushed to a hospital, authorities said. He was listed in critical condition as of Tuesday evening, police said.

No other injuries were reported.

The plane apparently slammed into a brick wall and landed in the backyard, stopping just short of the house, as seen in footage captured by RMG News.

It was fully engulfed in flames, but the fire was quickly extinguished after firefighters arrived, police said. One of the house’s windows was shattered in the crash.

Hemet resident Michael Deardorff said he was on his way to Target with his wife when he saw the plane go down.

“I could see as soon as it touched the ground all the dust and everything flew up like it was coming in too hot,” Deardorff said. “And then all of a sudden it was just an explosion and flames galore.”

He said he called 911 and drove back to alert crews of two fire engines they had passed on their way to Target.

“When we looked up, it looked to us like the plane had just left (Hemet-Ryan Airport) heading west and then it made a hard turn heading south and then it started getting lower and lower,” Deardorff said. “All of a sudden it started getting almost to the ground.”

The crash occurred moments later, he said.

The plane that crashed was a single-engine Beech Model 77, according to National Transportation Safety Board officials. The agency will look into what might have caused the crash, and an NTSB investigator was on their way to Hemet as of Tuesday evening. Additional information was not immediately released.

Bell Boeing MV-22B Osprey: Fatal accident occurred June 08, 2022 in Glamis, Imperial County, California

Five U.S. Marines died after their military plane crashed in a training accident in Southern California on Wednesday afternoon, authorities said.

The cause of the crash, near Glamis, California, a rural area near the Mexican border, wasn’t clear. An investigation is under way, according to the Third Marine Aircraft Wing, a Marine aviation unit.

The unit didn’t name the five Marines in a statement Thursday. 

“We mourn the loss of our Marines in this tragic mishap,” said Maj. Gen. Bradford J. Gering, the unit’s commanding general.

The unit added that the authorities were working to recover equipment from the plane, an MV-22B Osprey. The two-engine aircraft, manufactured by Boeing Co. and Bell Textron, has been involved in several fatal Marine crashes.

The Marines had been stationed at the Camp Pendleton base in San Diego County, the U.S. Marine Corps said on Twitter on Wednesday. They were members of Marine Aircraft Group 39 of the Third Marine Aircraft Wing.

Capt. Jordan Thorp, a member of the group, said that the five Marines were the only people on the plane.

Thursday flights were canceled, he said. “Everybody’s taking the day to mourn,” he said, adding that the crash had shocked the group, because “as Marines, we’re tightknit.”

Bell Textron, which makes commercial and military aircraft, said in a statement on Thursday that its teams were ready to assist the Marines. Boeing said it could not comment on the cause of the accident.

Other recent fatal crashes involving MV-22B Osprey planes include a March incident when four Marines died during a NATO training exercise in Norway. Three died in 2017 when the aircraft crashed off Australia, and four Marines died when the plane crashed in North Carolina in 2000.





A military aircraft crashed in Imperial County near the Arizona border Wednesday afternoon, killing four people, according to preliminary reports.

The U.S. Marine Corps helicopter crashed somewhere near the Glamis Dunes, around Coachella Canal Road and Highway 78, according to dispatch reports from emergency responders and Imperial County spokesperson Gil Rebollar.

“I can confirm that the county is assisting the military with a downed helicopter” near the dunes, Rebollar said when reached by phone.

Naval Air Facility El Centro confirmed on Facebook that the aircraft belonged to the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing and crashed near the California town of Glamis and the Arizona border.

Radio calls from the scene taken by emergency responders indicated there may have been nuclear materials on the aircraft, but Naval Air Facility El Centro spokesperson Kristopher Haugh could not confirm that information.

However, the naval base said in a post on Facebook shortly before 3 p.m. that “contrary to initial reports, there was no nuclear material on board the aircraft. More information will be made available as we receive it.”

Local firefighters, sheriff’s deputies and other emergency responders are assisting the naval air base in El Centro. Rebollar could not say whether the military aircraft originated from the base.

Although military officials could not say whether there were any fatalities, a federal source who spoke on condition of anonymity said there had been five people aboard the helicopter and four were dead.

Rescue teams in the area were searching for a fifth person who was aboard the craft.

A military V-22 Osprey was deployed to assist in the search.

On June 7, 2022, about 1645 Pacific daylight time, a Czech Sport Aircraft SportCruiser, N565L, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident in Hillsboro, Oregon. The pilot and passenger were not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight.

The pilot stated that after completing a normal preflight check, which included sumping both fuel tank drains and the gascolator, he taxied to the other side of the airport and shutdown the engine to pick up a passenger. After the passenger boarded, he restarted and performed an engine run-up.

Takeoff was normal, and after rotation the airplane accelerated in ground effect and began to climb. After reaching an altitude of between 100 to 200 ft agl, the engine tone changed, following which it lost all power. The pilot decreased the airplanes angle of attack, verified the fuel pump was on, switched the fuel selector valve from the left to right tank, and attempted an engine restart. The engine did not restart, and with insufficient altitude to operate the ballistic parachute, he performed a forced landing just beyond the runway.

PORTLAND, Oregon (KOIN) — A small aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing in Hillsboro on Tuesday afternoon.

Firefighters are on the scene of the emergency landing at Northeast Evergreen Road and Northeast 25th Avenue. Authorities say the plane had crashed on the grounds of the Hillsboro Airport at the end of one of the runways in the grassy area, then went through a fence. 

The plane reportedly crashed because it lost power after taking off.

Hillsboro Fire & Rescue says there were two people on board, but they were able to get out by themselves and walked away uninjured.

All eastbound lanes of NE Evergreen Road are currently blocked and will likely be for several hours while the plane is removed, according to the Hillsboro Police Department. Avoid the area if possible.

If Town Can't Change Airport (KJPX), It May Close It




East Hampton, New York -  What was once unthinkable now looks increasingly possible, as the airport that many residents say has vastly exceeded its historical function and is destroying their quality of life may finally be grounded, perhaps permanently.

"Given the overwhelming mountain of litigation" that followed the East Hampton Town Board's announcement last winter that it would implement restrictions on aircraft operations at the former East Hampton Airport, a consultant said on Tuesday, "we have been asked to begin the process of understanding and completing the steps to closing JPX," the airport's aviation designation, "as soon as legally possible."

That would be the opposite outcome intended by multiple plaintiffs who sued the town -- successfully, to date -- to prevent it from temporarily closing the airport on May 17 at 11:59 p.m. and, 33 hours later, reopening it as a private airport with prior permission required to take off and land there.

The town board moved to enact restrictions on aircraft operations once it gained control over the airport, following the September 2021 expiration of federal grant assurances. But instead of the imposition of those restrictions, based on time of day and size and type of aircraft as well as a limit on aircraft to one takeoff and one landing per day, the airport continues to operate as before, thanks to a temporary restraining order a New York State Supreme Court judge granted on May 16. 

"The process the town undertook to change the status of the airport from public use to private use was a significant undertaking," the consultant, William O'Connor of the Cooley law firm, told the board, "that we were very transparent and public about for many months and took a remarkable amount of effort, expense, and was truly a first-of-its-kind process to try to address the unique situation in East Hampton in terms of gaining control over the use of the airport." 

However, he added, "there has been significant litigation, starting in February. The town's effort to establish local rules to balance the community's stated desire . . . was challenged by a small minority with seemingly unlimited funds." Last year, he said, "public engagement sessions made clear the board should try to find a way to balance operations at the new airport. It was also made clear that another season like the prior years was not acceptable."

"It is our understanding," Mr. O'Connor continued, "that the town must now pursue a path to closure," after which "the town can at its discretion consider reopening under commonsense regulations." The impasse, he said, is "an unfortunate result, given all the good faith and hard work accomplished by the town and the [Federal Aviation Administration] in opening one of the most, if not the most, sophisticated private-use airports in the country." 

Board members on Tuesday wrestled anew with the intractable circumstances of a temporary restraining order issued one day prior to the planned temporary closure; a surge in jet and helicopter traffic in recent years, with one plaintiff in the multiple lawsuits against the town -- Blade Air Mobility, which allows users of its app to book seats on scheduled helicopter and airplane flights -- responsible for much of that surge; local pilots who oppose at least some of the planned restrictions, and those living near the airport or under flight paths who have long urged the imposition of restrictions if not outright closure. 

Councilwoman Cate Rogers, who was elected last year, read a letter she had written to The Star as a candidate. "The status quo is unsustainable," she read, citing the impact of noise and pollution, and her 2021 call to banish jets and helicopters from the airport. 

"I do not support closure," said Councilman David Lys, "but I do support meaningful changes." He said that he is supportive of the board's decision to seek counsel as to actions that could lead to the airport's closure "if appropriate." 

"I am at a crossroads," said Councilwoman Kathee Burke-Gonzalez. If the community's desire for "a balanced airport" cannot be achieved, "we may be left with no other choice but to look at closure."

The board was to further discuss the situation with Mr. O'Connor and other attorneys from Cooley during an executive session after Tuesday's meeting. Supervisor Peter Van Scoyoc did not attend the meeting but was expected to participate in the executive session discussion. 

Mr. O'Connor detailed the "remarkable" amount of litigation the town faces, listing plaintiffs, in addition to Blade, that include the Coalition to Keep East Hampton Airport Open and East End Hangars. Each lawsuit also includes multiple individuals as plaintiffs, some of whom Mr. O'Connor named, who live near airports that could see an increase in air traffic should it be diverted from East Hampton. 

But there are also lawsuits brought by Manny Vilar, who is chairman of the East Hampton Town Republican Committee, also seeking a temporary restraining order and which Mr. O'Connor said was filed in Nassau County but will be moved to Suffolk; Long Island Airline; the National Business Aviation Association, and Curtis Air Taxi and Jobs Lane Aviation, the latter two now consolidated into one proceeding. "As you would expect," he said, "a lot of effort has to go into dealing with those cases on a daily basis."

Several residents of the town and Southampton and Southold Towns called in to the meeting. Kathryn Slye of the East Hampton Aviation Association, a pilot who owns a small airplane and is a critic of the board's plan, accused Mr. O'Connor and the board of "a means of revenge" and "an attempt to harass and intimidate" by naming individual plaintiffs in the lawsuit. The board, she charged, "did misrepresent your intentions to close the airport. Absolutely nobody is opposing rational and reasonable restrictions," she said. Aviation interests want compromise, but all efforts to seek that outcome have been ignored, she said. 

Erin King Sweeney of the East Hampton Community Alliance, a pro-aviation group, read a statement to the board. "The town has always kept open the possibility of closing the airport, while also remaining committed to discussing the future of the airport with members of the community," she said. The Alliance, "which is not a party to any litigation, is uniquely positioned to engage in these discussions. We remain ready, willing and able to sit down with Supervisor Van Scoyoc and members of the board."

But proponents of restricting aircraft operations or closing the airport outnumbered opponents. Barry Raebeck, director of the Coalition to Transform East Hampton Airport, said that aviation interests "have refused to consider any meaningful restrictions" and resorted to litigation "at the hint of even modest restrictions" that many thought were "much too modest." They have "continually bullied the community, insulted us, distorted the facts for their own purposes" while the community has done the opposite. Blade, he said, "are extortionists" who are "foisting unwanted helicopter flights on a community that says we've had enough."

Blade's attorney, Randy Mastro, told The Star on Tuesday that "Town officials have ignored our repeated attempts to engage in collaborative discussions about addressing the needs of all stakeholders of the airport. I have personally reached out to the town's lead attorney to request such a dialogue, but to no avail." 

A statement from five Montauk residents, all plaintiffs in the East End Hangars lawsuit, was similarly critical of the town. "Instead of bringing the community together to address the shortcomings of their plan, the town is ignoring the T.R.O. and threatening to shut down the East Hampton Airport, which is an economic engine for the East End and which 80 percent of town residents want to remain open," they said. "The aviation community and residents support reasonable restrictions that will address noise pollution in the Town of East Hampton. The town's purported plan, however, never fixed the problem -- it merely shifted the burden to neighboring communities, especially to Montauk."

Justice Paul Baisley, who issued the T.R.O. precluding the town from closing the airport or implementing restrictions on aircraft operations, "has not indicated he wants a hearing on a preliminary injunction," Mr. O'Connor told the board. A T.R.O. "should mean just that: It is temporary," he said, but it has no time limit under state procedures. "Obviously, a ruling would be helpful so we know where we stand."
