An experimental plane sits in a plowed farm field north of the Bellefontaine Regional Airport runway after it was damaged in a Wednesday crash. Pilot Steve Sherrick of West Mansfield walked away from the crash.
Steve Sherrick of West Mansfield was able to walk away from his damaged plane, go across a plowed, muddy farm field and another 300 yards or so to the main terminal of the Bellefontaine Regional Airport, 3100 W. State Route 47, to report the 1:15 p.m. crash.
