C-182 Non-Fatal Lebanon, IN - 17 March 2006

[diverdriver 7]

This tail number does not list ANY registration on the website I normally look at for such info. This aircraft was involved in a jump plane accident 6-22-1996 Mendota, CA. Any more information would be appreciated as to whether THIS accident was skydiving related or is currently flying for a dropzone.

From the FAA website:

There is a DZ in Lebanon and the person mjosparky listed is a skydiver. He was the dzo in Mendota at the time of the first crash.

And can now be found jumping at Perris now and then.....

Punching "lebanon plane" into news.google.com gave a lot of hits mentioning the country and
this local TV story that I think is about this accident. That story says there was a flight instructor and student
pilot onboard. There is a blurry video capture; the plane _looks_ like a 182 and the tail number _looks_ like
N3675U, but I wouldn't swear to it. Punching the name given in that story back into the FAA's aircraft
registration data doesn't come up with any likely matches.

Lebanon is about 20 miles northwest of Indianapolis; various searches at the Indianapolis newspaper
haven't turned up a story on this crash. There are a couple of stories there on the ultralight plane crash
that the TV story also mentions. One Lebanon/Boone County paper has nothing, but another paper
has an article. It has a slightly better picture, but you can't read the tail number from that angle, or
determine if it has a jump door. That article also gives another name, which doesn't come up in the
registration search.

PLF does not stand for Please Land on Face.

Is there a DZ in that area?


Looking at that photo it does not look like there is a step on the right main gear so this probably doesn't fly jumpers anymore. I'll ask the mods to remove this thread then.


The registration info says the registration was cancelled in 2003. Why there is no new registration I don't know.

It was going to be the airport that skydive indy was going to call home, but the word on the street is they aren't going to open as posted on this site.

Frank sold that plane two or three years ago.

Ive done a lot of tandems out of that particular 182 at Mendota.

Moved from Incidents since this is a GA incident, not a skydiving incident.
