Overview

• On June 3, a Stinson 108 Voyager carrying a pilot and two passengers initiated a go-around at Sugar Valley Airport in Mocksville after an attempted landing.
• A UNICOM operator warned of a turtle on the runway, prompting the pilot to lift the right main wheel in an avoidance maneuver, the preliminary report says.
• Witnesses reported the plane’s wings oscillated after the maneuver before it vanished behind a hangar and crashed about 250 feet into nearby trees, sparking a postcrash fire.
• The pilot and one passenger were killed in the impact and fire, and the second passenger suffered serious injuries; none of the victims’ identities have been released.
• Investigators have recovered the burned wreckage for further examination as the NTSB continues its probe into additional causal factors.
