Skyhawk Crash at Spirit of St. Louis KSUS on 09/18/16
« on: September 19, 2016, 08:39:33 PM »
Skyhawk N52265, a rental plane at Air Associates of Missouri, crashed around 8:00 on 09/18/16 while on departure on the upwind-to-crosswind turn while doing pattern work. After over 2 hours of searching, the pilot, who was trapped in the plane, was found and brought to the hospital. He was able to make contact via cell phone which helped rescuers locate him, and the tower controller said he sounded relatively ok on the phone.  I've attached a Google Earth shot of the area with locations marked which were mentioned in the ATC clip.
