One person was killed when a crashed near Milledgeville, Georgia, on the night of August 23, 2025, at about 10:25 p.m. local time, according to the accident record. The record lists one person aboard and one fatality, and states the aircraft was destroyed. It classifies the flight as a Part 91 general aviation flight. This remains a developing matter and details may change. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating, according to the accident record. The cause has not been determined. The accident record identifies the aircraft as . Aircraft registry records list as a 1971 , a twin-engine piston landplane with Continental IO-470 series engines, serial number 310Q0443, 54 years old at the time of the crash and registered in the United States. Registry records list the registered owner as Dluhos Robert A; the owner of record is not necessarily the operator, the pilot, or otherwise connected to the flight, and may not have been aboard. A public aircraft registration listing derived from FAA registry data shows the same name recorded as an individual owner of the aircraft; no pilot certificate record or aviation business role for a person of that name could be located in searchable public sources, and it has not been confirmed that these records refer to the same person. The FAA's Airmen Inquiry database is not publicly indexed, so no certificate information could be confirmed either way. Weather observations recorded at Baldwin County Regional Airport (KMLJ), 5.1 miles away and 30 minutes from the reported time of the accident, showed wind variable at 3 knots, visibility 0.25 statute miles, an overcast layer at 3,700 feet, heavy drizzle and fog, and a temperature of 73°F. These are instrument readings, not a statement by any authority about what happened. Geographic reference data places Milledgeville in Baldwin County, Georgia, 5.1 miles south of Baldwin County Regional Airport. As a matter of record, the NTSB database, which begins in 2008, contains 11 other cases involving the , of which 3 involved a fatality. That count says nothing about the cause of this accident.

How we work

This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.

Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.

Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.

None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
