PLANE CRASH at PONCA CITY AIRPORT - CLIP 1 of 2-----3-1-07

[isilder]

I heard "2 people are dead and 5 injured" at the front of the audio.

Perhaps they meant "5 taken to hospital, two casualties", meaning two had to be admitted, treated.

[chris7525]

@isilder I was there, only 1 person was onboard, the pilot whom was a lawyer flying in for the swearing in of a friend of his becoming a judge. The car had 2 people in in and neither were injured. So nobody was killed or hurt.

[chris7525]

@chris7525 well, the pilot bumped his head and got a few stitches but that was it

[tubeyou443]

..ponca city?

[chris7525]

@tubeyou443 - Yes, it was over 3 years ago

[skysurfer0805]

"never thought id got hit by a plane this morning" lol

[mitchg233]

Funny looking hat that guy is wearing.

[ermollejuo]

I'm sure the insurace said to that woman..."oohh we don't cover if you get hit by an airplane, you shouldn't be flying in the first place"

[ram16821]

One word: Oklahoma.

[phillipseric]

because of Oklahoma's adverse and constantly changing weather conditions, it produces some of the nations best pilots. Florida, Cali, and Arizona flight schools don't have anything on Oklahoma flight schools.

[NIGHTEHAWK]

i agree, its a pain to fly here

[rayzatube]

Wasnt this the type of plane that Buddy Holly died in?

[chris7525]

Yes, this is the same type of plane Buddy Holly was in when he was killed.

[pdutube]

NTSB case number DFW07LA080 states that the engine quit for undetermined reasons. Fuel was present in both tanks and an engine test revealed no anomalies.

[HunsV]

"Aah, almost done, now I just gotta pull throttle... whoops guess I pulled mixture instead!"

[stalwart911]

couldn't agree more..

[Manongjojo]

Im sorry but I would not be caught dead in a Bonanza. There is a reason they had a short production when they was built. As for the Pilot and his errors nobody here really knows untill the FAA does a full investigation. Odds are it was engine problems. After all its a Bonanza.

[stormthorgerson]

new bonanzas the 36s are a lot better than than the v tail stoves

[pdutube]

Short production run? They started production just after WWII and ended in the early 1980s with over 5,000 flying today! There is nothing wrong with the Bonanza line. They are still highly sought after today.

[Wagonmaster74]

@Manongjojo Beechcraft/Bonanza has nothing to do with "engine problems." The engine is not produced by Beechcraft. If you wouldn't be "caught dead" in a Bonanza, it makes me wonder what you would be? I have about 2,300 hours in a V-35B. The finest single I've ever flown. What an uneducated commentary you have posted. The FAA, BTW, doesn't investigate. The National Transportation Safety Board does. Get a life, quit being an uneducated person - read about flying a bit. Then go airborne.

[dingoklectos]

@Wagonmaster74

v-tail bonanza does have a lot of crashes...but a lot of times its due to the v-tail stabilizer. the power loss is ofcourse due to a 3rd party engine...piston engines are not so reliable. its like putting a boat engine in a plane.

[wc4dblues]

@dingoklectos These planes have thousands of hours having been flown in them, they started being made in the 40s I believe. Any engine can have a glitch, when it's in an airplane.... well they come down.

[Shardith]

Eh, I've got mixed feelings that you included the bit with the pilot. Bad enough to make the local news, now he's on YouTube for everyone to see. Still, he should be proud he walked away from that emergency landing. A landing you walk away from is a good one, especially with engine out on final approach.

[Edog6239508]

i saw this live on the news that girl is luck that plane landed on top and not into the side or shed be fucked

[fayik123]

I don't agree with crash recoveries on airframes.

[pilohock]

its a good thing hes alive!

[robocock0]

will it fly again....some filler and some paint....lol

[floydflys72f]

Nope aircraft deregistered N number has been reserved for someone else

[mikeb172sp]

That sucks. I feel bad for him.

[ihartzack]

I live there! (like a mile behind the airport by the Paladin Apartments!)

[rsofia517]

I bet the NTSB ruled it fuel starvation! Landing check lists help remind pilots of complex aircraft to "SWITCH" Fuel tanks!!!!

I'd love to see the report!

[hawker445]

its a bonanza v35, my dad used to have that kind of plane, we travled in ti a lot

[khanchamtar]

can you take me in that plane sometime?

[edtrnt]

bonanza? damn! why didn't they just shut that make when Buddy Holly died?

[RobertGary1]

The Bonanza is one of the most popular aircraft ever produced. That's like saying why did they not stop making Fords after someone crashed a Ford.

[michaelteter]

@RobertGary1 The Bonanza has always been my favorite small plane, especially the V tail versions.

[mono1geek]

yeah, awesome plane, my mate owns one, he flies heaps!

[jstevo15]

mmmm i dont believe you

[chris7525]

I could care less if you believe me or not. You asked so I told you. I was the camera operator and the one that interviewed the pilot.

[Spacedgurl]

I do not believe that you could care less.

[chris7525]

Listen to the audio on the video here and you clearly hear the pilot telling what he was flying in to do. There is also a photo and additional story in the newspaper that backs up this information. Is it sweet or what when you can put someone in their place after they call you a liar.

[jstevo15]

i love the fact that the pilot was flying with a full suit and tie on. is that the reg? I would fly in jeans, unless of course im flying to a business meeting (unlikley!)

[chris7525]

The pilot is an attorney and was on his way to the swearing in ceremony of a best friend who was chosen to replace a judge that had been fired and he was to take part in the ceremony.

[alanrstepp1]

try and explain that to your car insurance LOL

[HisMajestyOKeefe]

Father had Neil Armstrong in cockpit of his EAL DC 8, Col. Armstrong autographed a picture to him: "Capt C. always land long Neil Armstrong"

Building near MIA has huge tire skid marks on its roof!

Ponca City Airport? Great airport, also home of best BBQ smokers made: CookShack!

[HisMajestyOKeefe]

Ponca City? Home of the Best Bar B Q smokers in the world: CookShack...we had two at our BBQ in Colorado

Building near Miami FL International had many tires tracks on the roof! Big wide tire tracks

[jazzmonkey87]

Enriques at KPNC- the best!

[chris7525]

Well, it for damn sure has a loyal following. I know peopl ethat will drive 75 miles just to eat there and others that don't mind flying 150 miles away just to eat there.

[jazzmonkey87]

I'm one of them. Places like those need support. Also try the Beaumont Hotel and the Steakhouse in Hutchinson.

[SenorSpode]

Beechcraft Bonanza 54 Zulu, acknowledge your mayday, you are cleared to land on any GM product.

[mo439470]

One of the three useless things in aviation... fuel in the truck.

[dylanw26]

Wow ... My mom grew up in Ponca.

[skipjackbj]

Vee tail or not. Final approach was not performed right. Its that simple.

[19211926]

Dude your a dumb shit!!You have no clue!!!do you even fly? I highly doubt it. And if you do you must really suck.What do you think you can always make the runway if the engine quits?

[skipjackbj]

Fly? Started flying in 1965 in a Taylorcraft, Aronca Champ on grass fields. Solo at 16. Continued flying for over 40 yrs.

I am old enough that during primary training the CFI did not just pull the power off to simulate power loss. They would shut down the engine and you did a dead stick landing. FAA latter changed this.

And, Ive flown Bonanza''s. They dont sink ver much on final. They wiggle a bit during cross country and a few tails fell off befor they addressed it with a new AD.

[RobertGary1]

That is about the most random thing I've heard.

-Robert, CFII

[19211926]

Hey Robert,

This guy skipjackbj is all over you tube making stupid comments like this.This comment he made is nothing like some he has made.

Mike ATP

[skipjackbj]

This guy? So what. Ive landed enough to know that you cant always make the runway. Thus, dead sticks in fields are okay.

I think you will agree that this pilot was far below his glide slope, not set up for the threshhold and numbers and I would venture to guess this runway was atleast 4500 feet.

This might happen on a small 1800-2200 ft runway. If he had power and alt. there is little excuse for this.

[chris7525]

OK, Im the poster of this video, I can verify the runway is at least 4500 feet. One factor here I think was the highline wires just prior to the runway and just prior to the road that he bounced off the car of. This is just my 2 sents worth but I think he tried getting under the lines in fear of coming down on them. With this said he didnt have enough room/space to get to the runway.

[RobertGary1]

He was only below GS because he lost power. Today we teach stable approaches which requires power on final. You are more likely to hurt yourself yanking and banking on final because you're trying to dead stick it to the runway everytime vs. having a stable approach. That's what the Bonanza Society teaches and every other type group I've taught for.

-Robert, CFII

[bodybager]

I looked up the NTSB accident report... Temp 37-dewpoint 30- that makes RH about 75%. Good conditions for carb ice during descent, which he wouldn't notice during low power descent, and he didn't need power until he realized he was a little shallow.

They found no fuel or engine problems and ruled it unknown cause for loss of power. I've never flown a "fork-tailed doctor killer," so can anyone who HAS a good deal of time in them tell me how well they eat the ice? Does this sound plausible?

[lll00O]

I'm pretty sure it's fuel injected. Rules out carb ice.

[RobertGary1]

That would be interesting except that the Bo doesn't have a carb.

[lll00O]

Hey skip. I don't care what you've flown or for how long. If you are on a standard 3degree glide slope and you lose your engine/s, you will not make the runway. Do you not do your approaches on glide slope? White over white, 2 dots high? But what do I know?

Jon - ATP, CE500, SA227 type

[1Gaumer]

this is true.

[RobertGary1]

Very true. Some CFIs still teach the old "every landing is an engine out". Most of us no longer teach that. What is important today is stable approaches. The yanking and banking of an "engine out" approach is more dangerous.

-Robert, CFII

[jghqaltga5926]

I know i miss the good old days when the only thing flying a plane was a PILOT, now days all a person has to do is push a button and then he's off. Turning everything into a hugh video game.

[hnyk143]

Dont call the a "V-Tail Doctor Killer For Nothing".

[19211926]

Another clueless non pilot.

[19211926]

Another clueless idiot!!!

[19211926]

another idiot!!

[Tramsootru]

Wow.. That news caster used to work at our local news station..

[Howrualldoing]

Looks like a V-tail single engine Beech Bonanza. Happy nobody was seriously hurt. I am a little skeptical flying older style aircraft.

[fmichaelb]

Lucky the pilot wasn't a doctor, if he was it would have killed him for sure.

[19211926]

Another dumb shit!

[dioaka]

This bonanza is an excellent aircraft.

[blondiebigtits]

actually this one is not , its defective!

[ThurDude]

no crap.Duh its a v-tail bonanza my dad and I own one

[buzerbat]

wtf
