JEROME, Idaho (KMVT/KSVT) — A vintage airplane crashed Tuesday morning at the end of the runway at the Jerome County Airport.
The Jerome County Sheriff’s Office could not release the condition of the pilot. Jerome Rural Fire District and sheriff’s office responded to the crash. Magic Valley Paramedics also responded.
A sheriff's deputy said it appears the 1952 fixed-wing aircraft went down the runway, attempted to take off, went up in the air and then belly flopped on the ground. He said there was no fire but the breaks were smoking. Emergency responders were notified at about 9:19 a.m.
The National Travel Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration have been notified and are believed to be coming to investigate.
KMVT will continue to follow this story. Check back for updates.
