• On September 29, 2002, a
North American AT-6 Texan was destroyed when it impacted the ground while maneuvering at Pickaway County Memorial Airport. Witnesses reported that the airplane had previously made a pass as the lead of a four-ship echelon
formation. When the airplane reached the end of the runway, it began a climbing turn, which seemed "noticeably slow." The airplane climbed,
stalled, and pitched downwards about 75 degrees nose-low before impacting a cornfield. The probable cause of the accident was found to be the pilot's failure to maintain adequate airspeed during the course reversal, which resulted in an inadvertent stall/spin. • In June 2009, a
Cessna Citation business jet on an
instrument approach procedure to the
Ross County Airport in
Chillicothe mistakenly landed at the Pickaway County Memorial Airport, believing it to be his destination. • On January 14, 2018, an aircraft made an emergency landing at Pickaway County Memorial Airport because its nose
landing gear would not extend properly. • On November 8, 2020, a
Piper PA-32 Cherokee Six crashed after departure from the Pickaway County Memorial Airport. The airplane suddenly lost engine power after takeoff, and due to the aircraft's low altitude, the pilot performed a forced landing straight ahead, coming to rest in a field. ==See also==
