September 12, 20196 yr Hey guys, I missed this on my drive to my practice today, and holy cow! I am glad that everyone is okay!!!! That plane is a Mooney, and I love Moonies (my first GA ride was in a Mooney, hence the love). https://wtop.com/prince-georges-county/2019/09/small-plane-crash-lands-on-route-50-in-bowie-may-have-hit-car/ https://beta.washingtonpost.com/local/public-safety/small-plane-hits-vehicle-on-us-50-in-maryland-injuring-four-officials-say/2019/09/12/f918a0ce-d572-11e9-b00e-9e1a72cc6813_story.html Be safe out there, skywolf Edited September 12, 20196 yr by Skywolf How I Evaluate Third Party Sim Addon Developers Refined P3Dv5.0 HF2 Settings Part1 (has MaddogX) and older thread Part 2 (has PMDG 747)
September 13, 20196 yr It caused a major traffic jam for sure and I heard traffic was bad on the 4 PM NBC4 traffic reports. Looks like it is all open now. I am confused as to whether they were taking off or landing. The news reports say they were landing but it appeared to me the fence between the airport and Route 50 was matted down. In the second link you provided, it shows a highway cone and police tape in the area of the fence before Route 50 and the aircraft did end up on the side of the guard rail on the airport side. Strange they would have come in for a landing so low. Think they had a problem with the takeoff. Jim Young | AVSIM Online! - Simming's Premier Resource!

September 14, 20196 yr It is good to see that those on the ground and in the air were not too seriously hurt. I had the heartbreak of sitting home while I was working from home more than a decade ago, and I saw a Microlight Crash on TV near Lake Pleasant in Peoria, in far N/NW Phoenix. I recognized it immediately as the aircraft owned by the CFI who signed off on my Light Sport license, Jim Blumer. It took five hours of calling before I found out he and his passenger survived unhurt, and the Dope/Fabric of his beloved Challenger II did its job. It would have been a perfect engine out landing on Lake Pleasant Highway, but he clipped a roadsign. https://planecrashmap.com/plane/az/N107BW/ John
September 15, 20196 yr Ouch, I guess it is an extremely rare situation to exchange insurance for damages when it come to a collision with an aircraft with a car. Glad no one was hurt Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
