On November 19, 2016, about 1900 central standard time (CST), an unregistered Navajo Northwing, N360XL, impacted trees during an unintentional takeoff from Greater Morris County Airport (8F5), Daingerfield, Texas. The airplane sustained substantial damage. The non-certificated pilot, and sole occupant onboard, was seriously injured. The airplane was privately registered and operated under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91 as a personal flight. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the flight, and no instrument flight rules flight plan was filed.

The non-certificated pilot stated he did not have the intent to fly. He was attempting to perform a high-speed taxi for the owner when the airplane "caught some wind" and became airborne.
