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.

When: Between 2 and 2:30 pm.
Why: The pilot had to land because of engine trouble. After landing, he worked on his plane, and took off again to fly the 10 miles to the airport, but the engine quit again and the plane crashed into some oak trees. The pilot sustained a scratch on his head but the plane is considered "substantial"
