    Teenager Lands in Oregon Basin

    What: 1978 Cessna fixed wing, single engine aircraft en route from Hillsboro Airport to Corvallis
    Where: in the Jackson Bottom Wildlife Refuge
    When: Saturday
    Who: Teenaged pilot
    Why: The Cessna experienced mechanical problems near Hillsboro Airport.

    The dates reported are not infrequently incorrect. One wonders if this misreported unfound Florida Hillsboro Imaginary Crash may have somehow been a misdirected Ham radio report of the above Hillsboro Oregon Crash.

    According to Jim Self, an Arlington assistant fire chief, the aircraft was towing an advertisement banner at the time of the accident. Self also confirmed that the pilot remained unhurt.

    3 Lost when Cessna Crashes Mt Si, King County Washington

    What: Cessna 172
    Where: North Bend, Washington
    When: Feb 15, 2012
    Who: 3 fatalities
    Why: Around 2 a.m. a King County resident heard the sputtering engine of a plane in distress, and called in a 911. Deputies on foot patrol heard the sound of a crash in the same area. The FAA picked up the emergency beacon (transponder). Emergency teams were using portable emergency locator receivers to follow the beacon to find the crash site. At 4:15 a.m., the King County’s Guardian One helicopter crew with night vision goggles assisted in discovering the fuselage from a single-engine Cessna 172 near a sheer face of Little Si mountain. The bodies of three individuals were found by teams of rescue hikers traveling about a mile by foot from the local base of operations.

    Two men and a woman were found. Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Mike Fergus said the flight was not in contact with ATC.

    Two of the three people killed in the small plane crash on Mount Si were swim coaches in King County. 31-year-old “Coach Seth” Dawson’s memorial was held Thursday night. Federal Way’s Decatur High School swim coach, Rob Hill was also killed in the crash, as well as Liz Redling. Hill was pursuing his commercial pilot’s license.

    There may have been ground fog at the time of the crash.
