The incident occurred at approximately 7:08 a.m. this morning as a 62 year old male pilot from New Jersey was making a planned landing at the airport located at 9935 Westville Road. The aircraft, which is a 1980 Piper fixed wing plane, landed on the grassy runway and then continued across Westville Road coming to a stop on the south side of the roadway in an empty yard.
The investigation into this incident is in its early stages and detectives are working with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to determine the cause of the crash.
The 62 year old pilot and a 43 year old male passenger from New Jersey were uninjured.

Looks like a landing gear problem. Glad they're safe and nobody was hurt. What they say about flying; hours of boredom accented by moments of sheer terror!
