Saw this one a week and a half ago at DMW also!
I was in the run up area behind a P-51, and for a minute, we had the best sounding 172 ever.

That's gonna be expensive to fix.   Any story?   Although I guess as the saying goes, any landing  you can walk away from is a good one.

Single pilot.  Landing in ball soup at an airport with no assistance.  8 or so NM away is an airport with full NAV,  tower offered a vector.  Pilot declined and tried to land anyway with 6 pax on board and came up about a quarter mile short.  All walked away with bumps and bruises except for a passenger that was sitting in the co-pilot seat that kissed the panel and broke the dash with his face.  He walked away,  but needed stitches.  

IIRC Metar showed less that 300 feet ceiling and an eighth mile viz.  add to that from the description the front seat passenger says,  the alt warning was set for a lower alt than the runway.  GPS/NAV gave a too low warning and the plane hit the ground almost simultaneously or close to it.  FAA investigated for a couple hour this morning and almost immediately released the A/C to owners for removal.  No hold on A/C which seems to indicate they are confident it is pilot error.

Glad there were no serious injuries.   Sounds like a recipe that could have ended much worse.  Almost sounds like the pilot pushed through so as not to have the shame of having to waive off to a different airfield.



ETA--

Top of the page, so posting a picture from a recent visit to Wright-Patterson.

Nope.  

Preliminary...

Pilot reported an in flight fire and smoke in the cockpit.  Last heading and air speed showed 170 MPH.  
Really a sad,  sobering scene.  
You can see the point of impact behind the man in the photo.

Couple cell phone pictures from a recent trip to Eroupe.

Landing in some very thick fog at Schipol.  Pilot reported visibility at 1/2 mile during our approach.   Guessing our scare-bus successfully landed itself.  I didn't see the runway until after we touched down.



This picture looked cooler in person than it turned out.  A380 starting its takeoff at Heathrow.   There were some cool vortices at the engines that didn't come through in the picture.
