Fossett’s Plane Found

What: single-engine acrobatic Bellanca Super Decathlon plane
Where: Minaret Range California
When: Found Wednesday (a year after the plane was lost Sept. 3, 2007)
Who: Steve Fossett

Three days after a hiker, Preston Morrow, found Fossett’s pilot’s license, a glider license and a membership card for the National Aeronautic Association, the wreckage of his plane was found.

A piece of bone 2 by 1 1/2 inches was found–the only possible human remains found to be DNA tested. Apparently the plane flew horizontally into the mountain, then the wood, aluminum and cloth plane shattered and burned.

Once the DNA is confirmed, at least the family will be able to have closure.

    American Airlines Bird Strike

    Burbank, twenty minutes from my home!

    On Jan 26, 2013, an American Airlines Boeing 738 flight took off from John Wayne Airport en route to Dallas, and suffered a bird strike (or more properly, three of them), and diverted to Los Angeles International Airport where they made a safe landing.

    Impact with the birds occurred around 7:30 a.m. (Does that make them early birds?)

    They landed safely around 8:00 a.m.

    What: B-17 bomber (Boeing B-17G-105-VE Flying Fortress)
    Where: Chicago
    When: June 13, 2011, 09:30
    Who: 7 aboard
    Why: A working B-17 bomber which had been in a $3.5 million dollar restoration (Tim Reilly Vintage Aircraft conservators) for fourteen years, took off from Aurora Municipal Airport on a test flight—and caught fire. John Hess, the pilot, made an emergency landing in a cornfield.

    Witnesses described a “cracking noise” before the plane landed in the field, streaming black smoke. Fire fighters were impeded by the muddy cornfield, and the plane burned.

    This weekend the plane was grounded with a leak.

    No one sustained serious injury although one person did have a minor head injury.

    The plane was described as a “national treasure,” and one of a dozen B-17s still operable.
