Aero Commander 680 N1922H: Substantially damaged 29 September 1980 when undercarriage collapsed on landing at Belle Glade, Florida. Per the NTSB Report: "Landing gear torn from aircraft after striking boulders on road being constructed during landing approach. Pilot in command selected unsuitable terrain for landing." The NTSB report also suggests that the aircraft was involved in an illegal flight connected to drug smuggling ("Drug Operation" [sic])
Last registered to an address at 3435 Commerce Street, Dallas, Texas. Registration N1922H cancelled 6 August 2012. Note that the registration of the aircraft involved was N1922H, and not, as often reported, N1522H...although as it was involved in illegal operations, a false registration would not be unusual!
