Wrecked, Burned Airplane Found In Washington State

Wreckage Discovered Wednesday On A Logging Road

The wreckage of a PA-18-105 Super Cub was found Wednesday on a logging road about 1.2 miles from SR-109 in Grays Harbor County, WA on Wednesday.

Television station KOMO reports that according to the Grays Harbor Sheriff's Department  Chief Criminal Deputy Brad Johansson, the plane actually went down on Monday, and was reported to the FAA on Tuesday. But the federal agency did not notify local authorities.

The plane reportedly landed on the logging road after experiencing engine problems. The pilot told the FAA that the landing was successful, but after touchdown one of the wings of the airplane hit a log, and sent the airplane off the road where it impacted a stump.

While the pilot told the FAA that the wing and windshield of the airplane were damaged, and that he and the plane had been covered in fuel, he did not say that there had been a post-impact fire. But the wreckage of the plane was obviously burned when local authorities arrived at the accident scene.

Johansson said that the pilot, who was not identified, was "unavailable for contact" and that the NTSB "(has) scheduled an investigation to take place next Wednesday. Details of the incident are limited at this point."
