Incidents and accidents

• A Piper PA-23 Aztec attempted the tricky runway 10 landing on May 23, 2009, eventually touching down 700 ft (213.4 m) from the departure end of the runway. Amateur video of the crash sequence shows the plane approaching higher and faster than usual before making the dive for the runway. The plane gained more speed on descent and was caught in ground effect; resultingly, the pilot fought the plane onto the runway, then locked its brakes to stop. Instead, the plane continued into sand, its nosegear dug in, and the aircraft nearly flipped over. Nobody aboard was injured.
