No one was injured in what Karl Von Hagel, airport manager, called a “non-event” Thursday.

The front wheel of an aircraft fell off while landing at a Cobb County airport Thursday morning, according to a Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman.

Kathleen Bergen said the FK9 Mark IV was towed away from McCollum Field, and the incident will be investigated.

Bergen didn’t know whether there were injuries, saying that information would have to come from officials at the airport, none of whom were immediately available Thursday evening.

According to FAA records, the plane is registered to Hansen Air Group, an aircraft rental and training service based at McCollum. Calls to the company were not immediately returned.
