Colona Airport Observes Milestone Crash

Wildcat Creek — Storm King Syndicate — June 12, 2016

With the downing of Rasta Air’s prop jet yesterday morning, Colona has achieved what few other facilities only dread. Since the opening of the air shuttle/express and mini golf in 1986 300 planes have been lost at or near the airport.

Runways and trees have been the physical culprits in most cases although weather is often merciless miles above the scrubby mesa landing zones. Local pilots credit the morbid milestone to the 10% grade and the nearby abode cliffs.

Excelsior Airlines has called Colona its hub since the early Nineties although no one has seen one of the company’s fresh, sparkly attendant staff since 2007. Attempts to contact the airline by carrier pigeon proved futile.

The Federal Aviation Authority is expected in town later in the week according to unreliable sources congregated near the milestone.
