AIRCRAFT ON LANDING WENT OFF THE RUNWAY, LAUREL, MONTANA.
BILLINGS - Nobody was injured when a small airplane crashed at the Laurel Airport on Monday.
Sgt. Kevin Cunningham, with the Yellowstone County Sheriff's Office, said Laurel and county emergency crews were called out to the airport just before 11:30 a.m. on a reported plane crash.
The pilot, who wasn't hurt and was the only person in the Piper Supercub PA 18, reported that he'd flown out to Columbus and was returning when a strong gust of wind hit the plane as it attempted to land at Laurel, causing it crash off the far west end of the runway, Cunningham said.
While the pilot was uninjured, Cunningham described the aircraft as "extensively damaged."
Police, fire and emergency crews from Laurel assisted and the plane could be seen upright on the runway about two hours later.
The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are investigating.
