It happened in the 2700 block of Parker Avenue in Haverhill around 2 p.m. Saturday.

The aircraft went through a fence and ended up in a neighbor's front yard where family and friends were celebrating a 7-year-old's birthday.
“We were going to have pony rides so the kids were all out at the trailer and probably about several hundred yards or so away then here came the airplane and it crashed in the driveway right behind the kids,” said Ellen Hill.
No one was hurt. The Federal Aviation Administration is not considering the incident a crash. Police say the pilot is very experienced and did everything he needed to do. The plane suffered some minor damage.
