Unexplained pulling forces two planes down in Tulare County

[SierraHotel 985]

It's been a weird two days at Porterville's Municipal Airport. 

One plane crashed into an airport sign and another overturned. The explanation: there isn't an explanation, said pilots who reported a "pulling" before the planes crashed in separate incidents. 

It all started late Friday morning when the pilot of a small aircraft was landing at the rural Porterville airport on South Newcomb Street. The pilot, who police didn't identify, told officers she was landing when her "aircraft began pulling."

She couldn't control the plane and slammed into an airport marker near the end of the runway. She wasn't injured in the crash. It's not known if there was anyone with her in the plane at the time.

Would be interesting to know what the weather conditions were like and what type of aircraft they were flying. At the end of the day I doubt if there will be any mysterious forces in play!

Again at Porterville's city-run airport, an unidentified pilot was preparing for takeoff when the "pulling" began. Around 9:10 a.m., 911 calls flooded the city's dispatch center when airport officials notified emergency personnel that a plane was "down."

"His aircraft began pulling to the left and veered off the runway and into the dirt field," Sgt. Brian Nix said. "As he attempted to maneuver the aircraft to recover, it began to lift and ultimately overturned."

Firefighters, paramedics and police rushed to the scene. The pilot wasn't injured, Nix said. 

The plane suffered moderate damage.

The National Transportation Safety Board and FAA were notified of the separate crashes and will likely begin investigating the phenomena.

Looks like California, SW of Sequoia National Park, west of the National Forest.
