What: Eclipse Aviation Corp. EA500 Fixed Wing Multi-Engine Turbo Fan registered to My Aviation LLC of Lafayette Hill--small, twin-engine jet attempting to take off from the Brandywine Airport but takeoff was aborted.
Where: WEST GOSHEN in a wooded area just yards from Route 202
When: 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
Who: No one was seriously injured, but the pilot sat for an hour after the crash comforting his young daughter, who was a passenger
Why: Pilot aborted flight. The right wing of the aircraft was badly damaged upon impact, and a strong odor indicated that the fuel tank was damaged. The plane did not catch fire but the controls died. The engine continued to run and could not be turned off.
