NTSB summary
On August 6, 2026, about 1030 central daylight time, a Beech H35, N5409D, was destroyed when it was involved in an accident near Bogalusa, Louisiana. The private pilot and passenger were fatally injured. The airplane was operated as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 personal flight. Preliminary ADS-B data showed the airplane departed Elm Creek Airpark (0TX6), Seguin, Texas, where the airplane was based, at 0617. The airplane arrived at George R Carr Memorial Air Field (BXA), Bogalusa, Louisiana, about 0915. According to the airport manager at BXA, the pilot wanted 40 gallons of fuel. He continued that the pilot “topped off” the left and right main fuel tanks and was adding fuel to the right auxiliary fuel tank when the fuel farm pump motor stopped working. The pilot had added 35 gallons at that point and told the airport manager that this would be enough fuel. The airport manager also reported that the pilot had wanted to put more fuel into the right side of the airplane to help “get the plane trimmed better.” The airport manager asked the pilot if he planned to use the crew vehicle to go into town to get something to eat, the pilot told him no, that they had left early and were on their way to Florida. Motion-activated surveillance cameras at the airport showed the pilot and passenger in the fixed base operator (FBO) building and the airport manager reported that he spoke with the pilot about the next leg of their flight to Florida. The pilot told him that they would stop on their way back to Texas the following Tuesday. The airport manager then left to begin
