- History of Flight:
On May 7, 2026, at about 0854 local time, a Beechcraft F33A Bonanza, N3688R, registered to Mckay Christopher out of Point Arena, CA, sustained minor damage when it was involved in a gearup landing on runway 15 at Red Bluff Airport (RBL/KRBL), Red Bluff, California. The pilot was not injured. The local flight originated at 0837.
The FAA reported: "Aircraft landed gear up." Local police reported that, after the gearup landing, the pilot "walked away" and departed with his other airplane, a Mooney M20C Ranger, N3492X. "The RBP said the pilot then made several stops across the Northstate and picked up a passenger. When the plane later landed in Ukiah, police tried to contact him, but he dropped off the passenger and left again. The passenger told officers they did not know about the earlier incident and had just been given a ride."
Flight-tracking websites did not detect the Mooney's departure from Red Bluff, and it only came to light in the vicinity of Willows, California, at 0923. The airplane landed at Ukiah Municipal Airport (UKI/KUKI), Ukiah, California, at 0946, before going dark again.
The pilot held a private pilot certificate, last issued/updated on 12/1/2017, with a rating for airplane single engine land. His third class FAA medical was issued on 3/2025, with a note that states he must use corrective lens(es) to meet vision standards at all required distances.
