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.

Cessna Flips after Hard Landing


What: Cessna 172 en route from Lafayette
Where: runway at 2222 S. Airport Rd White County Airport
When: 5:10 p.m. Oct. 25.
Who: four people on board
Why: The cessna approached the airport with a tailwind condition complicated by pilot's judgment to use the runway without knowing which way the wind was blowing. After a hard landing, the plane flipped forward over its nose. All passengers were able to exit the plane.
