Bummer to wreck such an old plane. Glad no one on the ground died. Smuggling or flying high most likely. https://www.ktvz.com/news/2-fr...a-charges/1085032989 ___________________________________Sigforum - port in the fake news storm.____________Be kind to the Homeless.

Looks like they missed the turnoff for 34L and got on Elm Street. ;-) Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||

Wait, what? |
So any landing you can walk away from isn’t necessarily a good one after all? “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

Nope. The crashee was a 1947 model -- the first year that the Bonanza was produced for sale. A classic. Although this one was not in original configuration. The news photo shows that a third window had been retrofitted, in the style of the early 1960s models. Also, hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like a one-piece windshield. The early ones had two piece windshields, with a metal strip in the middle. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

Better image here showing the two piece windshield. https://mailtribune.com/news/c...sh-injures-2#photo-1 Too big to link to directly. https://static-40.sinclairstor...43385PlaneWreck1.JPG | |||

Yup, that looks like the correct type windshield for that age Bonanza. It was harder to tell in the photo linked to in the original post. Many owners of early Bonanzas retrofitted the one-piece windshield. I could not really see doing this and kept mine original Replacement windshield for the two-piece were less than $200 per side. The one-piece went for around two thousand. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

FlightAware says it hasn’t flown in 14 days. Maybe no flight plan filed or?? _________________________ “ What all the wise men promised has not happened, and what all the damned fools said would happen has come to pass.”— Lord Melbourne | |||

I'm looking at FlightAware right now. It shows two flights on Saturday, June 8 (two days ago), both in the vicinity of Medford OR. One at 10:31 am PDT, and the second at 1:54 pm. Are you looking for the correct tail number? N602BH. At first I thought it was N6028H, but the next-to-last character is B, not 8. FAA website shows registration "pending." הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

I used to fly into Medford a lot for the $100 Hamburger run. How you end up on Whittle Avenue and not the runway had to be a chore. Looks like they were on final for Runway 32 and came up short and east of the runway. They were lucky that was a small tree. They got to skip the hospital and go straight to jail. What a waste of a fine classic aircraft. --------------- Gary Will Fly for Food... and more Ammo Mosquito Lubrication Video If Guns Cause Crime, Mine Are Defective.... Ted Nugent | |||

Yes. And crime, too.  Oh...and from the OP link, I wanna know what vegetable to NEVER eat so I don’t get intestinal worms... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||
