vintage 1930s military plane crashed in the woods

in eastern Coweta County Sunday evening, a few

hours after the conclusion of the Wings Over

Dixie 2000 air show.

The

Navion aircraft was not involved in the actual

show, according to a Wings Over Dixie spokesman,

but the plane is based at Falcon Field in

Peachtree City.

The

incident took place shortly after 7 p.m. Sunday,

near Christopher and Reese roads about four miles

from the airport, Coweta County Sheriff's

Department Capt. Jim Yarbrough said.

The

plane landed in a wooded area with no buildings

nearby, and no one on the ground was hurt,

Yarbrough said.

The

pilot, Gary Hall, was taken to Newnan Hospital,

where he was treated for some lacerations and

kept overnight for observation. A passenger, Jerd

Gambert, was taken to Southern Regional Medical

Center, where he was treated and released.

Passenger Juergen Badura was treated at the scene

and did not require a trip to the hospital.

Investigators

from the Federal Aviation Administration were on

the scene Sunday night and most of Monday

morning, according to Yarbrough. Their

investigation is ongoing.
