    logo_sedonafiredistrict2Sedona AZ (May 2, 2019) – Sedona Fire District received a call for an aircraft crash at Sedona Oak Creek Airport at 09:42 on the morning of May 1. Fire crews arrived to find a single engine aircraft that had come to rest on the taxiway after an aborted take-off.

    “Both of the aircrafts occupants were uninjured and had exited the airplane,” said Battalion Chief Buzz Lechowski, “The aircraft was upright although the impact had sheared off the landing gear.”

    The pilot told responders that he had lost power on take-off and was forced to bring the aircraft back down in the remaining runway space. The aircraft skidded across the infield and struck a runway sign before finally stopping on the taxiway.

    The aircraft was a 1964 Beechcraft Bonanza S35.

Has time so betrayed us, now, that we are but a decade or two away from finishing our stay here on this planet? What happened to those of us who grew our hair, protested against the unjust wars of our time and dominated three decades with the best music ever made and played? Looking back at videos of us at concerts, rocking to the Beatles, Stones, Yes, Prince, The Who, Metallica, Cream, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Beach Boys, Kiss, etc., we look at ourselves and we are fat, old, or bald. Sickness racks us. Body parts are failing, and we are getting closer and closer to our expiration date. We had dreams. We thought we would bring peace to the world.
