What: Cape Air Cessna 402C en route from Hagerstown to Baltimore
Where: Hagerstown Regional Airport, Maryland
When: Oct 14, 2009 10:30 a.m
Who: Unpublished
Why: When the crew reported that the plane’s landing gear was not retracting, they returned to the airport and made three passes prior to making a safe landing.

    Reports of Crash Are Greatly Exaggerated

    What: Cessna
    Where: La Bufadora, Baja California, Mexico
    When: July 17, 2012
    Who: 2 aboard
    Why: Rumors that a search is being coordinated for a Cessna that disappeared into the sea are false. The plane that had been flying low over the ocean while filming made a safe landing at Ensenada airport. Witnesses thought the plane crashed into the ocean and called authorities–but there was no crash, no accident, and only a safe landing.
