PORTAGE DES SIOUX, Mo. (AP) - The pilot of an ultralight, experimental airplane is shaken but OK after a crash landing in an eastern Missouri soybean field.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch (https://bit.ly/2bQA6LW ) reports that the crash happened Sunday after the engine cut off while the pilot was trying to land. The plane went down in a St. Charles County soybean field.
The plane’s landing gear collapsed, causing the aircraft to spin out of control. But St. Charles County police spokeswoman Val Joyner says the pilot managed to walk away without injury.
