Plane with nobody aboard crashes at Nipawin, Sask.
Quote:
A plane with nobody aboard crashed in a field near Nipawin, Sask., and sure enough, nobody was hurt.
It happened shortly before 6 p.m. CST Thursday at the Nipawin Airport, the RCMP said.
An initial investigation revealed the pilot tried to “prop start” the plane by standing in front and spinning
the propeller by hand. The engine turned over, but before he could get inside the Aeronca Chief two-seater,
it began moving forward on the taxiway, gaining enough speed after 10 metres to become airborne.
Police said the pilot was left behind, embarrassed but uninjured.
A little later, the plane crashed.
