A backcountry newb in a Mooney managed to land long and plow into a pickup
truck at an Idaho backcountry strip. I saw the Mooney after the crash and
it was bent, but mostly intact. My real surprise came when I flew into the
strip and saw the truck :

Yikes! Somebody up there must have been watching out for this pilot. He
and his passenger both lived.

Hmm, no engine in the truck?

I wouldn't be surprised if the truck looked pretty much like that
before the accident. I had an accident with a truck in my Mooney (in
Mexico). My wing got smashed pretty good but not a scratch on the
truck. Airplanes are made of pretty soft metal.

It never ceases to amaze me how many pilots fly into Idaho from
California and attempt to land at a backcountry strip without any
experience. We typically have at least 1 fatal a year because of
this.

There is an outfit in McCall that offers backcountry flight
instruction with experience instructors. If you want to land in the
Idaho backcountry, please get a backcountry orientation and checkout
flight with an experienced instructor first. Your life could depend
on it.

It has to be the truck in the background!
No way an airplane is going to do that much damage unless it hit the truck
at very high speed and pretty much obliterated itself...

It's in there. It's just that the radiator assembly is folded back on top
of it. You can see the air cleaner housing peaking out.

Nope. That's the one that the Mooney hit. A Mooney mechanic friend took
a look at the pics and he figures that it was a combination of the mass of
the engine, plus the sturdy steel cage in the Mooney.

BTW, the plane did hit the truck at a pretty high speed. He had firewalled
it to attempt a go-around about 500 ft. before impact. He was pretty close
to takeoff speed.

Ah, OK. i hadn't expected the engine to have been part of the accident,
really. Even then, that's an amazing amount of damage. It's kind of the
equivelant of a beercan hitting a dumpster except for the engine. Amazing
the occupants of the Mooney weren't killed.

pretty late to decide for a go-arround on an uphill strip with trees at it's
end (i guess it's big cr). i'm not so sure if a mooney should be my first
choice for that kind of flying...

besides, i can only repeat what dean already said: don't fly the backcountry
without experience. flying, especially taking off and landing, is very
different from what most pilots are used to.

amazes me that there are no prop strike marks on the truck.

Yeah, I agree. It just doesn't look like an airplane hit it. It looks
more like it lived in Oklahoma for a while.

Well we will all reserve our final opinion of the situation pending your
joint decision on the incident.

Be sure and let us know when you two have finished your professional
investigation (of the photograph).

Considering that a run-of-the-mil prop is advancing close to 6 feet per
revolution, and that the plane was nearly at take-off speed, that would give
a 3 foot advance before one of the two blades would hit anything.

From that wretched wreck, it would be hard to see if the prop hit one time,
or even two, and after that, there probably wouldn't be any prop left to hit
anything, if you know what I mean!

Is it your photo -did you see the engine? The pattern of damage looks
very strange for a collision with a plane -why did the truck get
neatly turned around? What was the reg of the plane?

Well, not a steel cage, but the forward half of the fuselage is a steel

Duh, a front engine aircraft hit a vehicle on take off run, and you don't
think the engine is going to be part of the accident.

No, sounds like you did, dumb ass. You think a Mooney can hit a vehicle at

Simple.

A cage is what you live in and a structure serves an engineering function.

You are a suspicious one, aren't you? :-) Yes, I personally took the
photos and I saw the engine. The truck was repositioned (back end toward
the strip) after the accident because it was blocking a road.

Here's the NTSB preliminary :

Note that he comments that he made a low pass over the strip to check it
out. My sources say he came in high and fast the first time and had to go
around.

Yep. It looks more like the truck hit another truck.

Initially, I'd heard on the backcountry grapevine that a Mooney had taken
off the top of a truck. After seeing the Mooney go by at the strip I was
camped at, I didn't expect that level of damage. Hence, the title of my post.
