The Blue 182. On May 22, 1994, about 1200 central daylight time, a Cessna 182B, N7261E, was destroyed by fire after it struck a pole and nosed over during landing in a field near Glencoe, Minnesota. The commercial pilot was not injured. The personal flight originated at the Flying Cloud Airport, St. Paul, Minnesota. No flight plan was filed, and visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time. The purpose of the flight was to pick up a group of parachutists who were waiting at the Glencoe Municipal Airport. The Glencoe Municipal Airport has a grass/turf runway. The field the pilot landed in was about one-half mile south of the Glencoe Municipal Airport, and was a grass field. Witnesses reported the pilot circled the field once and landed. The wing struck a fence post during landing roll, and nosed-over.

Ernie crashed in Glencoe Min 1994 while landing on a field road instead of the airport with a grass strip. He then also ran out of fuel on final at Flying cloud airport with another plane in 1996. He was 81 years old. He flew jumpers for Dave O in Mayer as well as Buffalo after flying at st croix. He did walk away from these crashes as well. I am not sure of the year he passed away 2003 ? I have over 200 Jumps from his plane and he did love the sport. I am looking to find some picks as well from Buffalo in 1990 JQ flew Chickens beach.
