Creedmoor, N.C. Boaters rescued a pilot from Falls Lake on Friday afternoon after his small plane crashed into the water, authorities said.
The crash occurred shortly before 1:30 p.m. near where Cheek Road crosses the lake at the confluence of Durham, Granville and Wake counties.
The pilot was trying to land at a small airstrip nearby when he crashed, according to the Durham County Sheriff s Office.
Dan Benedix said he saw the open-sided plane take off and was surprised to later learn it had crashed. He had a perfect takeoff. Everything looked great when he left, so I don’t know what happened between here and the water, said Benedix, a pilot who keeps a plane at the private airfield near the lake. He said he was going up to just enjoy the ride. It’s just a beautiful day to fly.
