diverdriver 7 #1 August 16, 2004 I have heard bits and pieces of a Cessna 206 landing off field after an engine failure in Ohio. Anyone want to step forward and provide more information?Chris Schindler www.diverdriver.com ATP/D-19012 FB #4125 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FrflyPimpDaddy 0 #2 August 17, 2004 Yes it is true. I jump in Ohio and a couple of people that I jump with were on the plane when it went down. I guess right after take off around 400' the engine cut out for some unknown reason and the plane had to land in a 8' tall corn field. Everyone walked out of the plane unharmed.

Taylor610 0 #5 August 17, 2004 DD, did you ever hear anything about the Walterboro 182 and why it crashed? Just curious, I haven't seen or heard anything on that one either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
