2008 Cessna Bird Strike Crash Hearing

The National Transportation Safety Board will hold a public board meeting Tuesday, July 28, at 9:30 a.m., in its Board Room and Conference Center, 429 L'Enfant Plaza, S.W., Washington, D.C. on the  March 4, 2008, fatal crash of a Cessna 500 (N113SH) in Oklahoma City, OK. The business jet collided in flight with a flock of large birds and crashed about  two minutes after takeoff from Wiley Post Airport (PWA). Both pilots and the three passengers were killed and the airplane was destroyed by impact forces and postcrash fire. A summary of the Safety Board's final report, which will include findings, probable cause and safety recommendations, will appear on the NTSB’s website several weeks after the board meeting.
