Near The Beginning Of Runway 13, The Airplane Was Struck From Behind By The Snowplow
On October 18, 2020, about 1200 mountain daylight time, a Cessna 182Q, NN97875, was involved in an accident near Spearfish, South Dakota. The commercial pilot and a passenger were uninjured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 personal flight. The pilot stated that while preparing to depart The Black Hills Airport-Clyde Ice Field (SPF), Spearfish, South Dakota, he witnessed a snowplow make a couple passes on the runway. My passenger made comment to me about how fast the truck was moving while it was plowing. He said they joked about the truck saying if it had wings that it would probably take off!
