Just saw on the news a plane has crashed near berryville into Lake Palestine, I'm wondering if its going to effect the tournys this weekend, with invesigators ect. Prayers to the pilots family for sure, hate to hear these things

WOW! Did it crash into the water or just near the lake?

Was it down by the airport on the south end?

What? I havent heard of anything and I live on the lake, gonna start digging see what I can find. Tragic prayers sent. Bet side imaging made it easy to find.

its in the water, divers are just now going down to look for the pilot, all they said on the news was it went down on the anderson county side of the lake and is under water

They found the plane in the lake. kltv.com Down by the dam.

Someone died in this accident. Making jokes about the crash is a bit much.

KETK 56 said the pilot was an 82 yr old man.

Prayers to the family of the pilot.

About 6 years ago I was fishing a tourney on Lake O the Pines and a small plane crashed in the water right in front of me. Everyone on the plane lost their lives.

I agree sure the family appreciated the joke.

Man, that's gotta be a rough way to go... either the crash gets you or the water does... prayers for his family.

Yea that was on alley creek right? The plane clipped the power lines if I recall....

I'm not sure how this would affect tournaments this weekend. It's not like they can mark chalk lines on the water.

My prayers go out to the victim's family. That's three deaths on Palestine in the last few months.

Sad news for sure but if the pilot was 82 he had a full life and was probably doing what he enjoyed most when he went down.

Hopefully he was the only one on board the plane.

Prayers sent to the family.

Beats living it out in a N home. That's my opinion and understand it may not be the opinion of others so if this offends...... Re-read this sentence.

Such a tragic loss. Prayers lifted for the family & loved ones of the pilot.

I have a call into the Game Warden investigating it to find out if there will be any areas closed off & will post my findings later (if I get a return call).

Sad. Its been a tough year out there.

Prayers to the family.

Thanks for the link fouzman, and you are exactly right this is not something that should be joked about! Prayers to the family

Yes Claysefus, that was the accident. I was right there and saw the whole thing and was first to respond. I will never forget that day.

Prayers go out to the families for comfort and understanding. I agree with everyone with the jokes. Not too cool when someone passes.

I did not know that, sorry ...

breaking news just on in tyler, they have located the plane, seems to be near cobb cove from the look of it, they found the door open and the belts unbuckled but NO PILOT. Faa is gonna try to get it out tomorrow morning

If the poor guy got out of the plane but still has not been found there will be an all out search for the body that could be over a huge area of the lake.

your totally right junglejohn, they are not sure if he bailed out or rode it in and then got out, i pray he is found ok, and that the gas in the plane dont get into the lake.

Was it the float plane that's always landing by Eagles roost?

no it was not a float plane that i could see, seemed to be a single engine cessna type aircraft.

this story shows the location and the plane that was involved.

Are you kidding me, did that DPS officer say that Henderson Co. left the scene before the DPS responded? Thats messed up.

Doug Fresh, didn't mean to single you out, and know you well enough to know you meant no malice. You're just a quick-witted feller.

We get lots of jokes on TFF without thinking in instances like this. Yours just happened to be the first and I took the opportunity to ask that the forum not make any jokes.

Nothing personal, and no reflection on you as a person. We all know you've got a heart bigger than Texas!

Thought so. That was crazy. Bet you were in shock when it happened huh?

Tragic situation, hope the gentle man is found!

prayers for the family!

...

He apologized next to last post on page 1, read Fouz post a couple up

My bad...............sorry doug fresh

fish killer..I apologize for the comment and agree un-needed, yet how do you feel that his comment does not need to also be deleted. Just wondering. Thanks

Prayers up!!!

Prayers sent for the family.

Yea very tragic, but I know it would be better than a nursing home soiling yourself, I'm sure he was doing what he loved

Looks like the search was suspended for the evening and will continue tommorow morning according to the news at 10pm. They reported that all the glass was still in place and not shattered, the harness had also been unbuckled as well.

I just pray they can bring some closure to this situation quickly for the families sake.

Prayers sent for family.

looks like they are still looking for him, and the plane is due to be raised sometime today or tomorrow. Whole area up there is bouyed off. Sure hope they find him soon, its gonna get really cold tonight and tomorrow

Just got off the lake about an hour ago from some fishing. They were floating the plane in when I was leaving but no word on finding the person.

prayers sent for the families hope it turns out ok and they find him safe

I'm not makin light of this situation at all and I hope they find him. But I can't help but think of one of the all-time greatest movies ever made..... Second Hand Lions.
