- History of Flight:
On October 18, 2026, at about 2013 local time, a Piper PA-28-235 Cherokee 235, N8759W, registered to Big Sky Air LLC, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident near Eastern Iowa Airport (CID/KCID), Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The pilot and passenger were not injured. The airplane was being operated on a local training flight.
The FAA reported that the airplane was on departure when it reported a rough running engine, returned to land, but went in a field instead.
Preliminary ADS-B data shows that the airplane was departing from runway 13 when it entered a climbing left turn to an altitude of 800 ft before initiating a turn back towards runway 27, the airplane was unable to reach the runway and ended up coming to rest in an open field short of the runway threshold.
The NTSB is investigating.
