Single-engine plane clips trees, crashes on landing at Wise County municipal airport
Two men in their 70s were injured on Friday when a single-engine Beechcraft Bonanza plane clipped trees and crashed as it landed at Bridgeport Municipal Airport in Wise County, authorities said.
The Texas Department of Public Safety said that the plane crashed about 3:30 p.m. north of the airport as the aircraft approached to land.
The men were flown to hospitals in helicopters and DPS and Federal Aviation Administration representatives declined on Saturday to release information about their conditions.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate.
