Plane ends up in grassy area near Opa-locka West Airport
MIAMI - A small plane ended up in a grassy area near a runway at the former Opa-locka West Airport.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue sent an air rescue helicopter to the scene at NW 186th Street and NW 137th Avenue but its services were not required.
Chopper4 over the scene spotted a pilot/instructor and a passenger were out of the aircraft and appeared to be uninjured.
According to the FAA, the single-engine Cessna A152 landed at the decommissioned airport around 9:10 a.m. and went off the runway into the grass.
The airport was decommissioned in 2006 after being severely damaged by Hurricane Wilma the year before.
