After I successfully passed my #FAA private pilot license flight test in 1987, I would sometimes rent a small single-engine airplane at #CrossKeysAirport near #Williamstown in #GloucesterCountyNewJersey. This mishap was an unfortunate and unusual mechanical issue with a skydiving plane that was unable to make it back to the runway. It crash landed. The pilot and passengers were injured.
