- History of Flight:
On July 8, 2026, at about 1148 local time, a Mooney M20M / 257 TLS, N488AT, registered to Sizemore Proper LLC, sustained substantial damage when it impacted trees and terrain in a swamp north of Tallahassee International Airport (TLH/KTLH), Tallahassee, Florida. The pilot suffered minor injuries.
The FAA reported that the airplane crashed into trees while on approach. The airplane was not seen on any flight-tracking websites. The NTSB is investigating.
Post-accident photos show that two propeller blades remained relatively straight and attached to the propeller hub, which remained attached to the engine. The last blade was impact damaged and separated and was not seen in photos, likely hidden within the tree debris. Both wings showed leading edge and outer edge tree contact damage, the tail was separated from the airframe and inverted. The main cabin area remained largely intact. The impact appears consistent with a forced landing into trees.
