Plane crash at the Ogden Inkley airport.
My second oldest
son Brian was standing on the tarmac in front of his hanger, at the Ogden
airport May 24th, when he saw a low flying single engine plane preparing to
land with its wheels up. He knew he wouldn’t have time to warn the pilot over
the radio so he jumped into his pickup truck he was standing next, and drove
toward where the spot the plane would be when it stopped. He was taking pictures with his telephone as
he drove. When he arrived at the plane the pilot said, “What should I do?”
Brian said, “Are
you hurt?”
The pilot said,
“No.” Brian then said,
“Did you shut
off the gas?”
“No.”
“Shut off the
gas and get out of the plane.”
Brian then
called the Federal Aviation. The plane remained on the run way for four hours while
the FAA investigation to place. Estimated
damage at the time was $7,500.00.
Finally the
plane a 180Cessna was removed from the run way and sky diving continued until
dark. Brian‘s remarked. I wish I
would have thought to call the news Chanel 4 their 10 PM interest story of the
day.
The pilots name
is eighty year old Aaron Farr of Farr’s Jewelry here in Ogden. Utah. There was
a little confusion still to be investigated; such as communication with the
control tower, a change in the normal flight pattern and so on and so forth.
