Crash at Lebanon Municipal Airport claims life of pilot
LEBANON - The crash of a single-engine plane Thursday afternoon shortly after takeoff from Lebanon Municipal Airport has claimed the life of the pilot.
Lebanon Police Chief M. James Alexander said the plane “left the airport and was trying to come back for some kind of problem it encountered and tried to land and it was unsuccessful doing that. There was some issue.”
When police and fire engines arrived at the airport, the plane was in pieces and on fire to the side of the runway.
The National Transportation Safety Board, which is leading the investigation into the cause of the crash, confirmed the death of the pilot but did no release the name pending notification of family.
