Plane looks pretty banged up but apparently and thankfully the pilot was not severely injured.

Also Stellar has pilot controlled lighting - may not have switched them on. They aren’t outstandingly bright in any case.

Interesting that the actual runway is just a few blocks to the west but there are no powerlines at the approach .... not sure if they put them underground on that stretch of highway or something.

Yes they did. Noticed this on the 202 highway just yesterday on the way back from the Estrella sailport. Exactly east and west of the runway the power lines go to some large poles and are routed down underground for south of the runway.

Was driving right by there the other day so took a few photos of the wires going down to the ground on both sides .
