Accidents and incidents

 * On October 21, 2004, a Stinson 108-2 was substantially damaged during a forced landing following a loss of engine power after takeoff at the Calvin Campbell Municipal Airport. The pilot reported he had reached an altitude of 800 feet, when the engine completely lost power. In order to avoid an urban area and interstate highway ahead, he elected to make a 180-degree turn and return to the airport. The pilot reported that after the turn the aircraft was not in a position to land on the runway. The reason for the engine failure could not ultimately be determined.
