HOLLISTER, Calif. (KION-TV) -- According to Hollister Mayor Mia Casey, an antique biplane landed on the runway at Hollister Airport on Thursday morning at approximately 10:15 a.m. before accidentally "flipping over."

The mayor confirmed that only the pilot and one passenger were on the plane and there are no injuries. The main runway (31) will remain closed until the plane is removed, the runway inspected and cleaned, according to the Hollister Fire Department.

"Beautiful day for flying, but an unfortunate day on the runway," wrote the Hollister Fire Department on Instagram.

I’ve been an international professional writer and performer for over 25 years. With a background in journalism, creative writing, dance and aerial, I find the intersection between all of these skills lands itself somewhere under the term “storytelling.”
