Accidents and incidents
- On December 7, 2013, a Cessna 152 struck a soft spot while landing on Runway 36R. The aircraft subsequently nosed over, causing substantial damage to the wings and tail. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the pilot's inadequate flight planning and decision to land on the soft grass/turf runway which resulted in a nose over.[3][4]
