CAF Beech C-45H Down In Colorado, Two Injured

Plane Clipped Trees During Emergency Landing

Two pilots were injured when their vintage transport plane went down near Erie, CO on Thursday.

Pilot Stanley Peterson, 64 and co-pilot as David Gianakos, 52, did not appear to have life-threatening injuries, according to Weld County sheriff's spokeswoman Margie Martinez.

Witnesses told investigators the 1951 Beech C-45H appeared to be having engine trouble. The pilots may have been attempting an emergency landing when it clipped some trees before impacted the ground, slid about 100 yards, crossed a road and knocked over a power pole before catching fire, Martinez told the Associated Press.

The aircraft is owned by the Commemorative Air Force's American Airpower Flying Museum in Midland, TX.
