Accidents and incidents
- On January 15, 2013, an Aviat Husky crashed while practicing touch-and-go landings at the Wyandot County Airport. On his third approach, the pilot noticed that the wind sock had changed and was now favoring the opposite runway. Thus, the pilot performed a go-around and performed an approach to the opposite runway. After touchdown, the plane's left wing started to rise and the tail swung to the right. The pilot applied left rudder, but the tail continued to the right. The right main gear buckled and the right wing struck the runway. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the pilot's failure to maintain directional control while landing in gusty crosswind conditions.
