Pilot injured after Missouri plane crash

By Ryan Bradley, Esq.

One man was injured in a Missouri plane crash involving an agricultural aircraft in Chillicothe.

The pilot, whose name has not yet been released, was able to walk to a farmhouse and call for help after his plane crashed just outside the municipal airport of Chillicothe. He was just taking off in a G-164 biplane when he encountered problems and crashed the plane upside-down in a field.

The pilot was taken to the hospital but his injuries were not considered life threatening.

No word yet on what caused this Missouri airplane injury accident.

Earlier this year in Arizona, there was another crash involving a G-164 which had problems during takeoff. In that case, the NTSB concluded that a power failure kept the plane from gaining altitude and it ran off the end of the runway.
