A school plane at Allegheny County Airport takes off from the runway

Kelly. Well, Andrew, we just learned from the airport spokesperson that this pilot is a woman. She was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. As I said, after her plane had passed over the hills, off course. And if you take a look at SKY 4 with the ACTION CAM, our view from above, you can see there’s some damage to what appears to be the aircraft’s front there. But it is not clear how this damage occurred and why her plane ran off course. We know this is the PIPER CHEROKEE. And this happened before the 330. So, for an hour and a half now, they’ve had first responders on the highway, off the runway, dealing with this derailed plane. Again, non life threatening injuries for this pilot. We also know that the airport here, the county airport, is now operating at limited, limited capacity. So they say if you’re doing business here, you have a flight from here, you better check it, check the airport, make sure it’s still on schedule and that your flight will continue to operate when it should. But again, there are no non-life-threatening injuries. This is the good news. It’s a female pilot and we’re working on learning exactly what happened here and how this plane made it off course. We’ll let you know when we get more new details.
