Small Airplane In Sky

A small plane that was headed towards the O’Hare International Airport lost a wheel mid-flight, and it ended up in a Chicago family’s backyard..

The wheel did not injure anyone in the Jefferson Park neighborhood where it landed.

The Boutique Air flight later landed “without incident” at O’Hare, according to a representative for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The 7 passengers were not injured.

But the plane did send a “considerable amount of sparks” flying down Runway 28C when it landed, says a statement from the Chicago Department of Aviation.

Shona Grant found the wheel, along with pieces of debris from the aircraft, in her backyard. Her and her husband were out for a walk when the incident occurred, but their four children were home.

At first, Grant thought the tire was a piece of trash someone tossed in her yard. Later, after speaking to a family friend who worked with planes, she discovered that it was a plane tire.

“It would have gone through the roof if it hit the roof,” she said.

Neighbors said that they heard the wheel hit the ground.

“There was a big boom. I didn’t know what it was. I didn’t know if it was in my house. I checked the basement,” one resident said.

The FAA says it will be investigating the incident with the help of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

  1. How did they get all those people in a single seat aerobatic biplane? Oh well, I guess the smoke in the photo looked good to accompany the story.

  2. Your photo shows what appears to be a Pitts Special, with smoke system on. While a wonderful Airshow plane, it is at most a 2-place airplane. I have 500 hours plus in one of these, it won’t fit even two big guys much less 7 passengers. Rob the Tumbling Bear.
