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.
Meditation XVII - (with apologies to) John Donne

Vintage Beech Goes Down in Quarry



What: 1954 Beech Bonanza
Where: Bloomington in a field/rock quarry along Rockport Road
When: Thursday morning
Who: Pilot Larry Gering
Why: After Gering experienced engine trouble, he landed, one wing hit a tree, and part of the landing gear broke. A witness said "the plane coming down making a circle. . . see the smoke and hear his motor . . ."

The FAA is investigating.
