Aug 3: NDHP – A crop dusting plane was attempting to take off from a private airstrip west of Jamestown. The pilot, Michael Carrigee, failed to gain enough take off speed to create enough lift for a safe take off. The plane struck a barbwire fence and traveled down a ravine prior to coming to rest in a pasture field. Carrigee did not sustain any injuries. The crash is under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
