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.

Missouri Crash with injuries




What: Cessna Skymaster
Where: Taney County Airport.
When: Sunday
Who: Owner/pilot Gary Grandpre and wife
Why: lost power during takeoff; briefly airborne before falling back to the runway and blowing out a tire, then skidding 800 feet and off the end of the runway.

Fact:
* the second Skymaster crash in the past month

Does Skymaster design make it more difficult to fly if you lose power?
