Aircraft Down on Driving Range

Post by modi13 »

I saw an aircraft down on a driving range just north of King George Airpark at about 1745 local today. Anyone know what happened?

I hit a 350 yarder and the god damn barnstormer took the ball into the carburetor.

I passed it on Highway 99 while heading into Richmond at about 11:45. It was pulled off the highway in the southeastbound lane in the grassy area in the southeast corner of the Highway 91 interchange. Looked like a Steen Skybolt or something similiar. It was gone when I was heading home around 18:00.

This was a separate incident. It was further east, pretty much due north of King George Airpark, and later in the day.

Whether it was two aircraft or not, I can't believe GlobalTV wasn't all over it for the past two days.
