I crashed my Bonanza north of there 1 day after buying it. Fuel pump failed at 600 feet over Goodland KN, ended up in a corn field. touched down, gear & flaps up at about 90 Knots(had a 30 not tail wind). No injuries, just bumpity bump.

One bad thing about those gear up landings is it really messes up the prop. :-)

That plane flew over my farm looking for a place to land just before it crashed. I guess he was looking for a place to crash land, but I dont have enough room in my pasture land one.
