- History of Flight:
On June 29, 2026, at about 1138 local time, a privately-registered AutoGyro MTOSport, N423AG, was substantially damaged when it impacted terrain shortly after takeoff from the San Jose-Reid-Hillview Airport (RHV/KRHV), San Jose, California. The pilot and passenger suffered minor injuries.
Preliminary ADS-B data suggests the gyro was accelerating down runway 18L and climbed to about 100-150 ft and reached 33 knots groundspeed when it stopped the climb and started losing groundspeed and descended into a field off the departure end.
The FAA reported that the gyro "crashed for unknown reasons off the departure end of the runway."
