Fire investigators say a twin-engine airplane experienced a power failure that led to a crash into two parked vehicles near Pappy Boyington Field in north Idaho’s Kootenai County. One of the two men aboard the plane was sent to a hospital with minor injuries while the other walked away from the crash. Both vehicles were unoccupied at the time of the crash. Fire inspectors say the pilot was practicing touch-and-go landings last Monday night when the plane crashed into a pickup and a Sno-Cat vehicle parked near the Kootenai Electric Cooperative office. The vehicles are owned by the power company. Firefighters reportedly sprayed foam on fuel that spilled in the wake of the crash. The men aboard the plane have not been identified.
