CASA GRANDE, AZ (AZFamily) — A pilot is hospitalized after a small plane crashed while trying to land near a Pinal County airport early Friday afternoon.
Around 1:15 p.m., firefighters responded to reports of a plane experiencing engine failure during a flight between Tucson and Phoenix. The pilot was attempting to land near Casa Grande Municipal Airport.
Crews arrived in the area moments later and found the plane upside down just outside the airport property. There was no smoke or fire. First responders helped the pilot, who was conscious and alert, out of the plane, and he was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. No one else was hurt.

The pilot and two occupants of a plane carrying an Alabama family are dead after it crashed in the Montana wilderness, according to the county sheriff and social media reports.
Monte Sano Baptist Church in Huntsville was urging community members to pray for the safe return of Huntsville pilot Mark Anderson and his daughters, Lainey and Ellie, who went missing while flying to Polson, Montana. “Mark is an experienced pilot, and we’re holding onto hope that he made a safe landing in a remote area,” the church wrote in a Facebook post Saturday afternoon. “Weather complicated and delayed rescue efforts, but search teams are back out this morning.” On Friday afternoon, the Powell County, Montana Sheriff’s Office received a report of a possible downed aircraft, the department posted on Facebook.
“The last known position was in the Bob Marshall Wilderness in Northern Powell County. Air resources were deployed from Malstrom Air Force Base in Great Falls and continued to search until around midnight,” that post stated.
The plane was located at 11:30 MT, according to the church.
“Members of the Powell County Coroners Office, Missoula County Search and Rescue with assistance from the Montana DNRC arrived on scene,” the sheriff’s office posted.
“The pilot and two other occupants were pronounced dead at the scene,” the post stated.
AL.com reached out to the Montana Highway Patrol, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office and the Powell County Sheriff’s Office.
“We know that it is a very remote area and will take time. Our prayer is for the complete safety of Mark, Lainey and Ellie as well as their dog Stella,” the church posted.
“Pray for their safety, that they are unharmed, for Misty (wife and mother), their family and friends as we all wait. We would also like to pray for the search team as they continue their rescue. We trust in God’s protection and are asking for a miracle.”
The Powell County Sheriff’s Office turned the investigation over to the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board to determine the cause of the crash.

Aviation Accidents/Incidents / Cargo Plane Slides off Runway Into Water at Hong Kong
« Last post by RonR on October 19, 2025, 23:39:57 UTC »An Emirates Boeing 747 cargo plane, AirACT flight #EK9788, skidded off the runway after arriving at Hong Kong International Airport and landed in the sea, according to airport authority.
Two staff members were killed in the incident that occurred at approximately 4 a.m. Monday morning, local time, according to Hong Kong police.
They were not aboard the plane, but were in a petrol car that fell off the runway at the same time as the aircraft. One staff member was declared dead at the scene and the other after being transported to an area hospital, police said.
Police said they suspect the plane struck the ground vehicle as it fell off the runway.

Aviation Audio Clips / American Airlines flight returns to LAX after report of fumes
« Last post by KB4TEZ on October 15, 2025, 12:35:09 UTC »https://abc7.com/post/american-airlines-flight-returns-los-angeles-report-fumes/18009750/
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- An American Airlines jet had to return to Los Angeles Tuesday after several passengers reported fumes in the aircraft making them sick.
The plane took off from Los Angeles International Airport just before 5 p.m. and was headed to JFK International Airport in New York.
However, the pilots turned the plane around when several passengers complained of feeling ill due to fumes in the cabin.
Pilots reported to the control tower that they also smelled and tasted something, and had put on their oxygen masks in the cockpit.
Seven passengers were evaluated, but no one was transported, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Flight tracking service FlightRadar24 shows the plane do a loop before it returned to LAX for the emergency landing.
Nothing dangerous was detected, and the flight was scheduled to take off again a few hours later.

Aviation Audio Clips / KDCA 10/10/25 1950-2030Z Marine-2 Round Trip Triggers DCA Ground Stop
« Last post by baldiedc on October 12, 2025, 12:49:50 UTC »Friday 10/10/25 1950-2030Z (3:50pm - 4:30pm) - Marine-2 double movement from ADW to Naval Observatory with 15-20 mins on ground and returning to ADW, stops DCA for 2x VIP movements, and triggers a broader ground stop for DCA, issued for 2014Z-2130Z timeframe.
Not sure all the ripple effects but for example RPA4515 from CHS to DCA due to depart 16:41 local was delayed to 17:37. There were no diversions for the planes on DCA final, but one aircraft in the 2nd hold started to discuss alternate might be needed if delayed for 2nd time more than 10 mins.
VP Vance was returning on AF2 from trip to Indinapolis (IND), and after the Marine-2 movements flew back west to Cincinnati (CVG), presumably with family.
And throw in some comms issues and a Medevac of course...

20:19 NH 2/8 internal comms to call Tower for "3 mins to lift" - report unable to reach Tower (calls to Tower not audible on LiveATC)
20:21 DCA Departure/Arrivals stopped. RPA4323 on Final continues inbound for Rwy 19
20:22 M2 informs Tower "lifting" (relayed to Tower via NH8) but not clear they lifted at this time - Tower later confirms
20:23 RPA4323 issued traffic advisory of helicopter 1 mile north of DCA northbound (presumably NH8 escort out of JBAB), RPA4323 lands 20:24
20:24 Medevac STAT10 enters the chat from the North, requesting GW which crosses M2 route. Tower verifies clearance and STAT10 told to continue inbound
