A plane built in 1913 crashed in Muhlenberg County.
Monday afternoon at approximately 5:30, the plane, with two men on board, crashed in a field at the Wendell H. Ford Regional Training Center near Greenville, according to WAVE.com.
The vintage aircraft was flying at 1,500 feet when the engine lost power. The two men, who did not suffer major injuries, were flying from an airport in Hopkins County to Bowling Green. The plane had just been refueled.
One of the plane’s occupants went to a local hospital for evaluation, the Kentucky Air National Guard told the Louisville television station.
There are only six of these types of planes in world. The aircraft was the only one of its kind certified for coast-to-coast flight.
