 * On May 10, 2014, a Pazmany PL-4 crashed while operating in the traffic pattern at Tri-County Airport. The pilot had completed a 20-minute local flight and returned to the airport to practice landings.

The probable cause was found to be a failure of the reduction drive unit resulting from improper installation of the unit.
