Crop Dusting Plane Crashes
KENTUCKY...
An eastern Kentucky man has been injured in a plane crash in western Kentucky. Graves County Chief Deputy Sheriff Dewayne Redmon says Ryan T. Smith of Owingsville was taking a flight test when the nose of the crop-dusting plane touched down and the plane flipped while landing at Mayfield-Graves County Airport Wednesday. Smith was taken to Western Baptist Hospital in Paducah and was in fair condition Wednesday night. Federal Aviation Administration officials were on site observing the test when the plane crashed. The airport was closed for about seven hours.
