Sugar Grove Fire Protection District news

Excerpts from the kcchronicle.com:

Sugar Grove trustees on May 7 approved plans for a firefighter training facility. The Sugar Grove Fire Protection District will build the facility at the rear of its property at 25 Municipal Drive. Under the special use and height variance trustees approved, the village will allow the training facility to be 22.5 feet high on a paved area and to be composed of shipping containers, with two stacked on top of three others.

The village will restrict the facility’s hours of operation to 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. and require that the exterior stairs be secured when the building is not in use.

Airplane emergency landing at the Aurora Airport, 5-24-17

This from Dave Weaver:

5/24/17 SUGAR GROVE, IL – 2-wheeled Piper Saratoga emergency landing at the Aurora Airport – Video by Dave Weaver

Excerpts from WSPYnews.com:

 

A pilot flying over Sugar Grove made an emergency, two-wheeled landing at the Aurora Airport this week after the left main landing gear on the plane failed to extend.

Lumanair Aviation Services Pilot Scott Luman told WSPY that it was a first for him making an emergency landing. He was flying his Piper Saratoga over the airport around 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday when the left main landing gear did not extend.

Video provided shows him land the plane smoothly, eventually coming to a stop with the plane’s left wing touching the ground.

According to radio traffic, Luman circled the airport until emergency crews were able to arrive at the airport as a precaution.
