Summary
A 77-year-old pilot suffered minor injuries after his plane veered off the runway at Whiteman Airport, crashing through a fence into a parking lot—raising fresh alarms about safety at the facility. Witnesses and a flight instructor confirmed the landing gear issue, and while the pilot was conscious and talking, neighbors are demanding action. A county supervisor is calling for an immediate shutdown until federal authorities investigate, but others argue the solution lies in improved pilot training—not closing the airport.
