• On December 14, 2005, a Piper PA-46 and a Piper Aerostar collided at the intersection of runway 6/24 and runway 15/33. Both aircraft were landing at the time of the collision.

The wingtips of the aircraft contacted. Both aircraft were substantially damaged but there were no injuries.https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestReport/62957/pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}
