Small Plane Crash at Monmouth Airport
FIRST REPORTED 2:53pm 8/25/11 Early Thursday afternoon a small single engine plane flipped on the runway of the Monmouth Airport.

The Federal Aviation Adminstration is confirming minor injuries to Thomas Arthur of Monmouth.

The FAA tells WGIL the tail end of the aircraft registered to Arthur was lifted into the air upon trying to land, flipping the plane onto the runway.

It is unclear where Arthur was flying from, but the FAA is calling Arthur's airtime a "pleasure" flight.

The aircraft is identified as a Cessna 140. The FAA says their continued investigation will last a few weeks.
