[edit] Accidents and Incidents
On February 5 2008 a Swearingen SA-226AT Merlin IV Aircraft operated by McNeely Charter Servie. A snowplow driver told the pilot he was clear for takeoff after he plowed a part of the runway for the plane to takeoff. As the plane began his roll to takeoff at 80 knots it's left landing gear encountered deeper snow causing the plane to swerve to the left. The airplane was severely damaged when its nose landing gear impacted a snowbank. Probable Cause was the pilot failing to maintain directional control when taking off.
