Incidents
On July 19, 1967, Piedmont Airlines Flight 22, a Boeing 727, collided in mid-air with a Cessna 310 just south of the airport in Hendersonville, North Carolina. The collision happened just moments after the 727 took off from the Asheville Airport. All 82 people on both planes were killed.
On March 15, 2003, a Cessna 177 Cardinal crashed into Old Fort Mountain after taking off from the airport. It killed author Amanda Davis, who was on a book tour promoting her first novel Wonder When You'll Miss Me (ISBN 0-688-16781-0), and her parents.
On May 4, 2007, a 1977 Cessna 182 en route to Asheville Airport crashed near the airport, killing three Georgia men. Initial reports said that rapper Jay-Z was on-board. These reports were false, however.
