- History of Flight:
On July 12, 2026, at about 1900 local time, a Cessna 182J Skylane, N43TB, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident at Piseco Airport (K09), Piseco, New York. The private pilot was fatally injured. The flight originated from Hudson Valley Regional Airport (POU/KPOU), Poughkeepsie, New York, and was destined to K09.
The FAA reported: "Aircraft crashed under unknown circumstances and post-crash fire." The approach and landing were not captured on flight-tracking websites.
Unconfirmed reports suggest that the accident was captured on video and showed the airplane bounce hard twice before a go-around was commenced. The aircraft then pitched up to the left and the flaps are retracted before it stalled to the left side of the runway and impacted trees.

The pilot's FAA BasicMed was dated 5/10/2026 with a note that he must wear corrective lenses for distant vision and have glasses for near vision.
