Beechcraft Bonanza —
There were two persons on board. Neither sustained any injury. As obvious in this photo, the passenger was quite fortunate that the metal segment from the sign impaled the fuselage where it did. A little bit higher and the passenger could very well have been seriously injured.
Excerpt from Kathryn's Report: "According to the pilot, shortly after landing, he lost control of the airplane, and it veered off the runway to the left, despite his right rudder inputs. After the airplane exited runway 25, it continued to an intersecting runway, veered 270° to the right, struck two runway signs, and then came to a stop, facing north on runway 34R. The pilot stated that he was unaware of why he lost directional control of the airplane on the ground."
*** Photographer's Note: The reg number of this Beechcraft Bonanza A36, as is visible in this photo, has been deliberately and significantly altered by myself (for reasons of my own) prior to posting. My use of the reg number seen here was purely a random editing alteration and is in no way connected to Pennsylvania Central Airlines (later Capital Airlines) N88842, a DC-4 operating as Flight 410, that crashed on Lookout Mountain (W. Virginia) on June 13, 1947, with the loss of all 50 persons on board.
