Lakeland, FL, FireFighters Take 10 Minutes to Get To Crash
A Cessna 337 Skymaster, specifically reported to be a 1976
Cessna 337P, was involved in a takeoff from LAL's Runway 27 when it
aggressively pitched up, achieving an altitude estimated at between
100 and 150 feet before rolling left and impacting the ground. The
aircraft slid off the runway and into the grass where, after a
minute or two, it caught fire and burned for nearly 10 minutes
before Lakeland Firefighters arrived.
