WASHINGTON — A twin-engine plane had to make an emergency landing just
short of the runway at the Leesburg Executive Airport in Loudoun County
Thursday.
The plane, which had departed Dulles International Airport, had been on the
way to Pennsylvania, according to the Leesburg Police Department.
Police say they responded to the accident at 11:18 a.m. and that the plane
had a power problem.
“Preliminary damage to the aircraft consists of a collapsed landing gear,”
says a news release from the police.
The pilot from Florida was not injured.
