CONROE — A 22-year-old female flying a civil air patrol Cessna 172 was on approach to Lone Star Executive Airport in Conroe when she lost power about six miles out. She was hoping to glide into the airport, but was unable to reach it, instead using East Davis Street as a runway.
The plane went under a traffic light but clipped a utility pole, ripping off the plane’s right wing. As of 10:20 p.m., the plane is leaking fuel and a hazmat crew is on-scene.
The pilot is uninjured.
MCPR was created in 2008 after Jamie left a newspaper that conflicted with her ethics. Initially, it was blog style website where Jamie wrote stories and posted them with photos. Scott provided video, and as the blog grew in popularity, businesses began to inquire about advertising. The blog soon transitioned to a news website, and then to a print newspaper, which was sold in over 100 stores, and through subscription for several years.
