HTN: Pilot Lands Plane Safely

The pilot of a plane that lost power over the Town of Wales touched down safely in a corn field yesterday. The plane flipped over after 72-year-old pilot Roy Berube of Tonawanda landedl, but Berube and his passenger walked away okay. Berube put out an emergency call at 4 p.m. yesterday afternoon while flying a Starduster Too replica World War Two biplane near Old Big Tree Road. Berube and passenger 62-year-old Paul Quenzler of Alden, also a pilot, received only minor injuries, and were treated at the scene.
