Eyewitnesses told local outlets that it seemed like the Lancair’s brakes weren’t working. Jack Schneider, an onlooker at the airport to pick up a project plane, was able to capture the moment of impact on camera.

“I saw the airplane coming down the runway quickly I knew that he wasn’t gonna have time to stop. It was clearly going too fast, the tires were smoking… So I quickly pulled out my phone because I could tell something was about to happen.”

Aero Country Airport only sees about 30 flights per day but has had two other significant crashes over the past decade. In 2016, three people were killed when two planes collided in mid-air about a half-mile from the airport. In 2019, a plane a quarter-mile from the runway. The two people in the plane survived the impact with non-life-threatening injuries.

The FAA is investigating this most recent incident including evaluating the footage recorded by Schneider.
