MATTHEWS, N.C. — A pilot walked away uninjured after his small single-engine plane crashed Thursday evening in Matthews, according to officials.
The Federal Aviation Administration said a Cessna 150 flipped after landing in a field on Margaret Wallace Road near Wilgrove Air Park.
“I don’t understand what happened. You just see a plane upside down,” said Ian McCluskey. “It's a little confusing, in front of a church."
Officials said the pilot was the only person on board.
