Plane crash leaves cropduster unhurt

As reported in the Daily Evergreen:

A biplane crop duster crashed in a Pullman field near the Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport Saturday morning.

The pilot walked away unhurt after the plane flipped during an attempted emergency landing, according to a KTVB report.

The report stated that witnesses, including the pilot, said the plane’s engine sounded strange and lost power only seconds after takeoff.

The pilot, Michael R. McDonald, 41, of Idaho, was the only occupant of the plane, according to a KHQ report. The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the cause of the crash.

By the time neighbors called 911 after the plane flipped, the pilot was out of the wreckage and walking around.
