2 crashes at Falcon Field Mesa Arizona
Posted: Wed Sep 22, 2004 1:19 pmI work at the Boeing facility near Falcon Field. Falcon is one of the busiest small airports in the country. I can't find any links anywhere, but a few days ago a small experimental aircraft (type unknown) was taking off, reached about 100ft AGL where the pilot reported a problem. The aircraft then crashed on a golf course just off the end of the runway. The two occupants on board were killed 
Yesterday I saw video on the news of a second incident involving what appeared to be a cessna (looked like a 182RG) make an emergency landing. The nose gear was not extended but the pilot did a good job bringing it in. The prop and nose took some damage but the occupants were not injured
Sorry to be so vague on some details but I thought I'd share this with you.
