- History of Flight:
On February 24, 2026, at about 1107 local time, a Piper PA-28-151 Cherokee Warrior, N85RW, registered to JKG LLC, sustained substantial damage in a forced landing near College Grove, Tennessee. The pilot sustained unknown, but apparent minor injuries. The training flight originated from Murfreesboro Municipal Airport (MBT/KMBT), Murfreesboro, TN, at 0824 LT.
According to ADS-B data, after departure from KMBT, the airplane proceeded west and continued up until 1 hour and 40 minutes later when it conducted one touch-and-go at Jackson Regional Airport (MKL/KMKL), Jackson, TN. The airplane then proceeded east back towards KMBT and was cruising at 7,200 ft when it initiated a rapid descent. Towards the end of the track, the airplane entered a descending right hand turn into a wooded area before coming to rest. The total flight time was roughly 2h45m.
The FAA reported: "Aircraft made a forced landing on a road impacting trees." Photos show that the airplane impacted trees and came to rest upright. Both wings were impact damaged and separated from the airframe. There was no post crash fire. Both propellers remained attached to the propeller hub, which remained attached to the engine. Both propeller blades were straight and shown signs of providing to little to no power on impact.
