23, 2019, a Vans RV 6 was substantially damaged during a forced landing following a loss of engine power after takeoff from Shady Acres Airport. The pilot reported that the initial taxi and run-up were normal. However, halfway throughout the initial take-off roll, the engine sputtered and the pilot aborted the takeoff. Subsequent run-up and take-off were normal. As the airplane ascended through 260 ft above ground level, the engine began to sputter and, shortly after, the engine lost all power. The pilot initiated a forced landing to an open field near the airport. On October 17, 2020, an aircraft on a training flight landed in a parking lot due to an engine failure immediately after takeoff from Shady Acres. References Airports in Washington (state)
