On July 12, 2023, about 1530 Alaska daylight time, a Stinson 108 airplane, N97719, was substantially damaged when it was involved in an accident near Ninilchik, Alaska. The pilot was not injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 personal flight.
The pilot stated that he departed from the Homer Airport (HOM), destined for Anchorage, Alaska. A few miles northwest of the Ninilchick Airport (NIN) he noticed a loss of engine power and the oil pressure decreasing. The pilot determined he was too far from the NIN airport, so he elected to perform a forced landing to a road. During the rollout, the right wingtip struck a traffic sign, which resulted in substantial damage to the right wing.
The airplane was retained for further examination pending recovery.
