Around 6:40 a.m., San Bernardino Fire responded to reports of a structure fire at the Cable Airport,” said Eric Sherwin, Public Information Officer for the San Bernardino County Fire Department. “An additional 911 caller stated that a light
aircraft had crashed into one of the hangars.”
Not quite.
It basically crashed on the apron and slide into the hangar.
The hangar is used by the Ontario Police Department to store their air support units, Sherwin said
A man, who witnessed a plane crash himself in Fullerton, said that he and his father — who is also a pilot — have seen planes crash at Cable Airport before.
Who is this guy and his father that always seems to be around when a
plane crashes?
What a surprise, that an airport that has been in existence for over 75
years has had previous incidents.
“My dad flies out of Apple Valley Airport and lands here all the time, and we do occasionally see people come up short and a couple crashes here,” he said. “But nothing this bad, ever. This is really, really bad.”
Pointless arm waving.
All three people inside the aircraft, the pilot and two passengers, were pronounced dead at the scene. They have not been identified.
This happened 2 weeks ago and everyone was identified well before the
end of the day.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the single-engine Beechcraft P35 crashed during departure from the airport around 6:40 a.m. It struck an Ontario police department hangar

Every indication so far is that it was a departure stall but no one
knows why as of yet.
