SIMSBURY \u2014 The\u00a0Federal Aviation Administration<\/a>\u00a0is investigating an incident at\u00a0Simsbury<\/a>\u00a0Airport Sunday morning where an airplane veered suddenly off the runway.<\/p>\n

The airplane was arriving at the airport about 10 a.m. as part of it 28th Annual Simsbury Fly-In. The event features airplanes and antique cars.<\/p>\n

“The airplane seemed to have landed appropriately, and then for some reason it just veered to the left, and traveled off the runway,” said Simsbury police Capt. Nick Boulter, who was at the fly-in. The plane “traveled toward the first line of classic cars that were lined up there, the made an abrupt turn just before that line and the wing struck a classic VW bus or van. It was very close to the spectator line.”<\/p>\n

There were no injuries to spectators or people on board the airplane, Boulter said. Simsbury firefighters, police, an\u00a0Aetna ambulance crew<\/strong>\u00a0and fly-in staff reacted immediately, Boulter said. Two Federal Aviation Administration inspectors were at the fly-in and are investigating, he said.<\/p>\n
