FORT WORTH, TX -- A flight instructor and a student pilot suffered minor injuries when the aircraft they were flying crash-landed at an airport on Fort Worth's far south side.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford says the single-engine Cessna 172 was making touch-and-go landings about 4:15 p.m. Thursday at Spinks Airport when the aircraft rolled to the left just after takeoff and struck the ground, damaging the left wing and collapsing the nose landing gear.
Neither occupant suffered any serious injury. The aircraft is registered to the Airline Transport Professionals Corp. of USA, a suburban Jacksonville, Fla., flight training company.
