Homebuilt Crash
WILLISTON, Fla. — Two men were injured but in stable condition after their small, experimental airplane crashed during an emergency landing about 20 miles south of Gainesville.
The Levy County Sheriff’s Office says 65-year-old Phillip Seay Sr. and his son were flying in a 1974 experimental airplane on Sunday morning when the aircraft experienced an engine malfunction.
The pilot realized the plane was having problems and made an emergency landing in a field near 16930 N.E. 10th St. in Williston.
The plane landed on soft sand and the front made a nose dive before landing upside down, the Sheriff’s Office reported.
