A 1964 Beechcraft Bonanza S35, fixed-wing single-engine aircraft crash landed at the Sedona Airport the morning of Wednesday, May 1.
According to radio traffic, the plane was attempting to take off, was unable to get enough lift and crash landed on its belly at the end of the runway on an adjacent taxiway around 9:30 a.m.
Sedona Fire District crews and Sedona police were called to the crash scene, but none of the passengers were injured in the landing and were up and moving about, so the crew returned to the fire station, according to radio traffic.
The aircraft is being referred to as “an obstacle on the runway,” by radio traffic. The plane was moved from the crash site after noon.
According to flight records from the Federal Aviation Administration, the plane has been co-owned by Richard S. Azimov, of Scottsdale, since 2006.
Sedona Airport Manager Deborah Abingdon did not provide any additional details about the crash, but said no one was hurt.
