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.

Routine Emergency Landing in Lake City





What: six-seater Eclipse 500 LX jet flown by a test pilot
Where: Lake City Municipal Airport
When: 9 a.m. Thursday
Who: test pilot
Why: Only one of its two engines was operating at touchdown. The Eclipse company in New Mexico says this was “a maintenance flight.” On Aug. 11, Jerry Mack began leading an FAA 30-day review of the Eclipse 500. It is not known if this test flight was part of the evaluation, or an incident.
