What: BEECH Baron 95-A55 registered to DBJD LLC en route from Bergstrom Airport in Austin.
Where: in a PORTER, TX subdivision near Williams Airport in East Montgomery County.
When: 02/12/2009 5:30pm Thursday night
Who: Pilot Daniel Boyd Williams and Rheta Lynn Williams were fatally injured and died at the scene.
Why: AIRCRAFT CRASHED on approach to Williams Airport in East Montgomery County.
Airport witnesses the plane was coming in about 50 feet, began to climb and then made a sharp left to the treeline where it clipped several trees before landing in the Parnell family's back yard. The plane hit the ground hard, ejecting the passengers.
There used to be a stand of trees--possibly a sound barrier--separating the neighborhood from the airport. The NTSB says any safety they offered was an illusion and that the trees were a threat to the planes. However, individuals in the neighborhood believe they were safer when the trees were there.
