The pilot conducted a forced landing to a field. The airplane struck a fence and sustained substantial damage to the fuselage, empennage, and wings. A postaccident examination of the airplane revealed that the fuel tanks were not breached and contained no usable fuel. After the accident, the pilot stated that he was surprised they ran out of fuel and will use this accident as a lesson learned. ## Aircraft - Registration: [N2500Q](https://openairdocs.org/aircraft/N2500Q), registered now, S/N 15066600, built 1967 (OpenAirDocs) - Reported make and model: CESSNA 150G - Registry model: [Cessna 150G](https://openairdocs.org/model/cessna-150g) (registry code 2071816) (OpenAirDocs) - Registry engine: [Continental 0-200 series](https://openairdocs.org/engine/continental-0-200-series) (registry code 17020, reciprocating) (OpenAirDocs) - Category: Airplane - Serial number: 15066600 - Year built: 1967 - Airframe hours: 6188 - Engines: Continental O-200A 100 horsepower reciprocating - Damage: Substantial damage - Flight: Instructional, Part 91 - Operator: Saydun LLC - Registered owner: Saydun LLC - Airworthiness certificate: Standard, Normal - Last inspection: 100 hour, September 11, 2025 - Departed: CDH, Camden, AR - Destination: LNC, Lancaster, TX - Airport: LNC, Lancaster Regional - Equipment: Stall warning system, ADS-B, Angle of attack indicator, Handheld GPS ## Flight crew As NTSB recorded them.
