Wind blows plane off Sully runway

May 31, 2011 By Radio Iowa Contributor

Windy weather is great for flying kites but not so much for flying planes. High winds are blamed for a minor airplane crash at the Sully Airport on Monday morning around 9. Winds pushed the plane off the runway during takeoff. It hit a tree.

The pilot and his teenage son were the only ones on board. Neither were seriously hurt. The plane had minor damage.
