Or one we've previously talked about?

It IS hard to keep track of them all. Article below refers to this as the
fifth at this airport since 9/05:

Pilot, passenger walk away from small plane crash in Lincoln Park



LINCOLN PARK, N.J. - A small plane attempting to land at a Morris County
airport burst into flames after it went off the runway and slammed into
some trees on Sunday afternoon, but the two men on board walked away from
the crash.

The single-engine Cirrus SR22 started to veer left as the pilot tried to
land at Lincoln Park Airport around 3:40 p.m., authorities said. Knowing
he could not land the plane evenly, the pilot tried to throttle the plane
back up, but that caused it to veer farther to the left and slam into some
trees about 100 feet away from the runway, Lincoln Park Patrolman...

Both men were able to get out of the plane before it became engulfed in
flames and were not seriously injured, Bosland said. The Federal Aviation
Administration is investigating the crash, which was the fifth incident at
or near the airport since September 2005. The last occurred Jan. 11, when
a small plane with engine trouble landed in a field in Pequannock, about a
mile from the airstrip.
