Accidents and incidents[edit]
- 1 March 2009: A Nanchang CJ-6, registration number N99YK, entered the traffic pattern to land after leading a 3-aircraft formation to Propwash Airport. During a very steep right turn towards the runway, the aircraft suddenly descended sharply and impacted terrain in a near-vertical nose-down attitude. The pilot and single passenger were killed. The accident was attributed to "The pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed while maneuvering on approach, which resulted in an accelerated stall and subsequent loss of control. "[4]
