A Charleston city councilman flew a plane that was involved in an incident at Yeager Airport, causing the runway to be shut down for about an hour Saturday.
As Tom Lane was landing just before 5 p.m., the aircraft "went down on its nose," said Yeager spokesman Mike Plants. Lane reportedly suffered no injuries.
Plants said he couldn't provide many details of the incident because, with all incidents, it would need to be investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board.
Plants also said the weather was windy at the airport around the time of the incident.
