Accident & incident history

2014-09-20 Accident · Clarion, PA Damage: Substantial Serious injury NTSB · ERA14LA450
Reported aircraft: Barger Jerry L Challenger II — a different aircraft that carried the N4017C registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot's inadequate preflight planning, which resulted in a takeoff with the airplane's center of gravity aft of its limit and led the airplane to exceed its critical angle of attack and experience an aerodynamic stall during the initial climb. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's lack of flight experience in the aircraft make and model.
1968-10-13 Accident · Gooding,Id, 12 Damage: Substantial NTSB · 3 3939
Reported aircraft: Stinson 108-3 — a different aircraft that carried the N4017C registration before this airframe.
