Tampa Plastic Surgeon Crashes Stunt Plane
Eva S on Dec 1, 2008
A Tampa plastic surgeon and his passenger, a 19-year-old man, were both injured when his single-engine plane crashed during landing at Peter O. Knight airport on the Davis Islands.
Dr. Dan Greenwald was flying an Extra 200 single engine craft, and had left mid-morning for a leisure flight around Tampa. As he tried to land, he clipped the 50-foot mast of a nearby sailboat and crashed into the seawall of the Seddon Channel before flipping over and landing on grassy airport land about 50 feet from the runway.
Tampa Bay Online reports that investigators have not determined whether the plane was approaching too low for a landing or simply was low enough to strike the boat.
