The Ramsey County watch commander says the plane took off from the Anoka County-Blaine Airport Saturday with an unknown destination.
Authorities do not know yet if pilot error or a mechanical error contributed to the crash, but they say the plane’s landing gear was in the down position when it hit the water.
A private salvage crew had been working since 10 a.m. Sunday to pull the plane from the lake and got it to shore mid-afternoon Sunday.
Officials say the pilot of the privately-owned plane, a 70-year-old man from White Bear Lake, can keep his plane after answering some questions regarding the crash.
