On October 21, 2025, at about 1137 local time, a Cessna 170B, N1873C, registered to Aero Standard LTD out of Oceanside, CA, was not damaged in a forced landing near San Diego, California. The commercial pilot and passenger were not injured. The local personal flight originated from the Bob Maxwell Memorial Airfield (KOKB), Oceanside, California, at about 1118 LT.
The pilot reported that the engine "suddenly lost power at 800 ft" and that he found a perfect spot to land on Mission Beach.
Tailwheel landing on that kind of slope is no easy task, well done!
