Last couple of days we've had two "hard landings" at Republic and last night a Cessna 172, N739RK, crashed after
takeoff from Wallkill Air Park upstate NY. This one had more serious consequences. Four on board and according to
State PD two were thrown from the wreckage, two had to be extricated. Two were medevaced to WMC and the other
two to two different hospitals.
