Safety record

Accident & incident history

2018-06-30 Accident · Ashland, OH Damage: Minor Fatal injury NTSB · CEN18LA245
Reported aircraft: Kubicek BB30 — a different aircraft that carried the N717FN registration before this airframe.
Probable cause: The pilot's failure to ensure that he was secure in the balloon's basket after landing, which resulted in him falling and striking his head on the burners when the wind caught the envelope and tipped the basket over. Contributing to the accident was the pilot's underlying heart disease and pulmonary edema that distracted him from securing himself in the basket and left him unprepared when the basket tipped over.
