Plane down near Dallas

[NealRomeoGolf]

A friend drove by this and texted me. I assured him I hadn't flown 1000 miles south that day. All 5 survived after hitting power lines.

I occasionally take the time to send my well meaning friends some Motor Vehicle Accident reports and ask them if they are ok.
5 passengers, I wonder what type of plane.

"The pilot and four passengers?" Someones got some 'splaining to do.
One local report has it as a 177 and that they were having engine issues before hitting the power lines.

Something is wrong there. The aircraft inquiry comes up with a Honda Jet

The N-number in the photos is N29615 (which comes up as a Cardinal), not N104HJ.

Nauga,

Only if you identify as a person. Some identify as animals, gods, planets or the devil. You need to show respect and not just assume persons!

Just thinking maybe a child sitting on someone's lap? Works for the airlines, maybe they thought it was good for GA too? That would make 5 occupants.

Is that a Cessna brochure pic? What year?

 

[donjohnston]

One of the reports I read said two adults and three children. So I'm guessing they had the third row child seat option.

1971 177B brochure.

I was a freshman in H.S. in 1971. Makes me feel old...

Glad everyone survived, best wishes to the family
