Jet goes off runway, hits fence at Boulder City
airport An jet flown by a former Hungarian Air Force fighter pilot ran off the runway at the Boulder City Municipal Airport on Friday afternoon. The Federal Aviation Administration said in an email the aircraft crashed under "unknown circumstances." Preliminary reports indicate that the L-39 airplane crashed after landing at the airport, FAA spokesman Allen Kenitzer said in an email. The aircraft, which sustained minor damage, ran off the runway and struck a perimeter fence. The FAA said the aircraft is registered to Istvan Kalmar. Reached by phone Friday afternoon, Kalmar said, "The brake overheated ... and it made the runway short." He said the aircraft ran off the runway and "badly pushed a fence over" but that "nobody even had a scratch." Kenitzer said local authorities reported that two people were onboard. The L-39 is a single-engine military aircraft designed and manufactured by Aero Vodochody for the Czechoslovakian Air Force, according to airforce-technology.com. It was the first airplane to be powered by turbofan engines. There are numerous variations of the jet, which is generally used as a training aircraft for military pilots. https://www.reviewjournal.com/local/local-nevada/jet-goes-off-runway-hits-fence-at-boulder-city-airport-1878578/ **************

Small airplane with 3 aboard crashes near Red Creek Airstrip
in Tonto National Forest A small plane with three people aboard crashed Thursday afternoon at the Red Creek Airstrip, about 35 miles from Deer Valley Airport in north Phoenix, according to officials. A Cessna 205 aircraft went down about 4:30 p.m. under unknown circumstances, according to Allen Kenitzer, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration. Red Creek Airstrip is located in Tonto National Forest in Yavapai County. The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office said a locator beacon alert involving an aircraft on the Red Creek Airstrip was brought to their attention just before 5 p.m. Arizona Department of Public Safety units were sent to the site of the plane crash first due to it being in a remote area. There were three people were aboard the aircraft, Kenitzer said in an email. None of them were injured in the apparent rough landing, and a DPS ranger then flew the three out of the area around 8 p.m., Yavapai County Sheriff officials reported. The aircraft was substantially damaged, the FAA said. The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board are still investigating the crash. *************
