Two injured in plane emergency landing near Miami Executive Airport

Two people made an emergency landing near the Miami Executive Airport Saturday after taking a training flight.

A pilot and co-pilot aboard a single-engine Cessna landed just west of the airport, 12800 SW 145th Ave., at about 1:30 p.m. Both victims suffered minor injuries and were treated by Miami-Dade fire rescue workers, according to airport spokesman Greg Chin.

The training flight was through the Dean International flight school offered at the airport.

“It was a training flight and we’re not exactly sure what happened yet,” Chin said.
