- History of Flight:
On November 7, 2026, at about 1436 local time, a Cessna 172M Skyhawk, N57BM, registered to Huerta Holdings Inc and being operated by the Orange County Flight Center, sustained substantial damage when it was involved in an accident at John Wayne International Airport (SNA/KSNA), Santa Ana, California. The pilot and passenger were not injured.
The FAA reported that the airplane landed and taxied behind UAL2611, a Boeing 737, experiencing jet blast and flipped over. The NTSB is investigating.
Preliminary ADS-B data shows that the Cessna landed on runway 2R and proceeded to taxiway C then taxiway A behind the United jet.
Airport video shows that, as the Boeing powered up to enter runway 2L, the Cessna was behind it and was flipped over.
The preliminary ADS-B data and video suggests the Cessna went over the approach hold short line for the runway and was very close to the Boeing. A few seconds after the event, the controller asked the pilot behind the Cessna if he crossed the entry point, and that pilot said that they were following Bravo Mike (the accident airplane) and that Bravo Mike was flipped over by jetblast so they didn't want to hit him.
