Another Lockheed Accident Occurs, This Time In Georgia

YouTube Badboy, Dan Gryder, Confirmed To Have Been On Board

It's been a bad week for old Lockheed twins... with one fatal accident taking two lives over the weekend (CA), and another taking place Monday evening as a 1936 twin-engine Lockheed 12A was attempting to land at Seven Lakes Airport (Georgia) shortly before 8 p.m. when it impacted a tree after going off the runway. 

Three people were confirmed on board and all were all air-lifted to area hospitals. All three have since been reported to be resting and in stable condition. 

The airplane was on a left base for runway 36 and was in the landing process when it reportedly veered left and off the runway -- impacting a tree. The cockpit appears to have been penetrated by the tree -- and pinned the right seater in the cockpit, and an observer in the partially crushed fuselage for some 2 hours. The pilot (left seat) was able to crawl out.

One of the persons known to have been on board was controversial YouTube personality, Dan Gryder (in the right seat), who sustained a number of fractures and lacerations but is expected to recover. Dan's son reported online that, "Thank you for everyone reaching out. A brief update with what limited information is available at the moment and regards to privacy for all those affected. On June 17 2024 at Seven Lakes Airport there was an aircraft incident involving a Lockheed Electra. Three pilots were on board including our dad Dan Gryder. All three individuals on board were life flighted to Grady Hospital in Atlanta. 

All three individuals are currently stable at this time and resting. I can only comment on the condition of how dad is doing but the worst case scenario was averted and his injuries were minor..."

Few details are available as to what caused the runway departure or what role Gryder played in the accident, although the seedier side of the internet seemed to be celebrating his bad fortune... which is regrettable, no matter what tyour opinion is of the man, and speaks so very poorly for the aviation community. 

More details to come.
