Here is an older photo of it...

This home is on Rte 100 accross from Nichols Campground.  It was damaged by (of all things) a fire in the fall.  The owner donated to the Stowe Fire Deparment for practice.

Hi Scott,

Was that up on the Lavallee Farm where the Kopacz family lived or was it further towards St. Albans.  Maryann and I were talking about it on our way to St. Albans tonight and neither of us remember it.  The plane is still out in the meadow as from what I gathered from the firemen, some other group has to make an examination of it and determine the cause of the crash.

According to Vermont State Police, the pilot was 48 year old Peter Hebert of Stowe.  He was supposed to land in Morrisville, but had just four minutes to find another landing spot after his engine quit.  He was flying at about three thousand feet off the ground and apparently the closest place he could find was the meadow between Summit View Street and Goodall Street.  He was very lucky and walked away from the crash unharmed.  The thick hay must have provided a nice soft padding as the only damage appeared to the left landing gear you can see in one of the pictures I took.  The Federal Aviation Administration has been notified, so I suspect they will be moving the plane tomorrow.


It was in the field across the road from Stone Crest horse farm, just after Ralph McNalls place.

Nice shots Henry.  Does anyone recall the other crash in Farifax.  I'd say 25+ years ago?  It was in the pasture next to the farm that sits on the left hand side, just after you exit Brush Woods heading towards North Fairfax.  (I forget the name of the owners...)

Okay, but isn't it lightning instead of lightening?  Check the spelling on the Free Press photo.  I just have to uphold Ernie Codding's legacy.  Yes, I checked the dictionary in his honor.  Suzy Spellchecker

I always remember Mr. Codding reading the Free Press and marking all the spelling and grammatical errors!

Just sent an email (should have thought of that earlier) to my father, who hunts regularly behind the area where the map shows this property is...as Paul Harvey says....

"Stand by for news."

Hard to place it.  This also could be in the area of the Larry & Nancy Comettes' place.  There are apple trees in the back, and lots of open fields.  The house next door to them, could possibly be the McMasters.  Although, by the photos it looks to be that the home is on a slight knoll.  Now I am VERY curious!! So by looking at the map, the location looks like it could be at the top of the hill near the swamp closer to the Muirs' property. I'll have to do some walking throught the woods the next time I am at my parents.  And take some photos of some other cellar holes.
