The first of several posts about a plane that went down on Wolf Road, in Wheeling, 1/2 mile north of Chicago Executive Airport.
From the Chicago Tribune:
A twin-engine plane crashed near an apartment complex as it was attempting to land at the Chicago Executive Airport in Wheeling this evening but there were no injuries to anyone on the ground, officials said.
The crash happened at about 8:28 p.m. near the intersection of Hintz Road and Wolf Road, police said. The plane landed nearly about four tenths of a mile from the Foxboro North Apartments, police said.
According to Federal Aviation Administration officials, the twin-engine Beechcraft 20 plane crashed just north of the airport, said Tony Molinaro, an FAA spokesman.
The pilot was the only person on the plane and sustained minor injuries, Molinaro said. The aircraft sustained some damage, Molinaro said.
