Cessna 421B Golden Eagle, N1592G, K.W. Brown Ministries Inc: Incident occurred May 29, 2015 at Chesapeake Regional Airport (KCPK), Norfolk, Virginia

CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WVEC) -- A family is happy to be safe after the engine on their plane stopped working mid-air during a flight Friday. 

Bishop Kim Brown, from The Mount in Chesapeake, told 13News Now his wife, daughter, son, daughter-in-law and 3-year-old grandson were on board a Cessna 421B Golden Eagle that took off from Chesapeake Regional Airport headed to Charlotte, N.C. Friday around 4:45 p.m.

About 15 minutes into the flight, his family saw smoke coming from the left wing of the plane and the propeller stopped.

The pilots informed the family on board that one of two engines had blown and they were turning the plane around to go back to Chesapeake with the one working engine.

The plane landed safely at Chesapeake Regional Airport and no one was injured.

In a phone call with 13News Now's Regina Mobley, Bishop Brown said, "God showed himself strong."

The family plans to drive to Charlotte Saturday where Bishop Brown is opening a new church Sunday.
