Plane flips at the Clarence Aerodrome Airport

On April 10, 2024, Troopers out of SP Clarence responded to Clarence Aerodrome Airport on Transit Road in the town of Amherst for a plane collision. Investigation determined that the single engine plane was attempting to take off and the front tire sank in the mud causing the plane to flip upside down. Troopers and emergency crews assisted in getting the 82-year-old pilot out. The pilot is being transported to Erie County Medical Center for minor injuries.

This is an ongoing investigation.
