A Note to Our Readers

Dear Readers,
We make a special effort here to record the facts as we receive them. At times, there may be error but we do try to use our best judgement at the time of posting, and will be glad to amend any details which are proved incorrect. Furthermore, even though we do not here discuss the human cost, we realize that losing anyone in an air accident is insurmountable tragedy to individuals, families and communities. We do extend our heartfelt sympathy to those whose loss we record here. "...any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for..." us all.

Emergency Landing in WEST GOSHEN




What: Eclipse Aviation Corp. EA500 Fixed Wing Multi-Engine Turbo Fan registered to My Aviation LLC of Lafayette Hill--small, twin-engine jet attempting to take off from the Brandywine Airport but takeoff was aborted.
Where: WEST GOSHEN in a wooded area just yards from Route 202
When: 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
Who: No one was seriously injured, but the pilot sat for an hour after the crash comforting his young daughter, who was a passenger
Why: Pilot aborted flight. The right wing of the aircraft was badly damaged upon impact, and a strong odor indicated that the fuel tank was damaged. The plane did not catch fire but the controls died. The engine continued to run and could not be turned off.
