Back in 2001, there was a plane crash in the Woodlands, Texas. A witness saw the plane in a flat spin before crash. Guess what type? Mitsubishi MU-2B-40, N16CG. It crashed in the woods a few miles from my house. The cause, engine failure. “Aircraft was climbing through 11.000 ft after departure from Conroe, TX when it lost control & crashed in woods near The Woodlands, TX after engine failure, reg canx 11.01.02.”
My father spent over a decade flying privately for business. Mitsu’s are pretty common and as a kid my Dad used to tell me stories about how dangerous they were. I think, if memory serves me, he mentioned something about the planes being a handful and extremely dangerous in engine out scenario’s.
Nasty.
