Plane Crash in Telluride  Oct 14th @ 8:57 am in News by
katymitchel  A single engine plane crashed near Telluride
Airport late Sunday morning. A Beechcraft Bonanza A36 turboprop,
piloted by a 51 year-old Mt. Crested Butte man, had taken off to
the west. Shortly after becoming airborne the plane veered to
the southwest and could not gain altitude.  The plane hit the
ground about 200 yards south of the runway and skidded another
100 yards, crashing into the airport perimeter fence and some
oakbrush, which caused it to stop within 30 feet of a cliff. The
aircraft was extensively damaged, but there was no fire and the
pilot, the only occupant, was uninjured
