A Cape Air plane skidded off the runway during a training exercise at the Barnstable Municipal Airport in Hyannis Monday afternoon. No injuries were reported, according to the Hyannis Fire Department.
The twin-engine Cessna 402 veered off the runway onto the grass at approximately 3:28 p.m. Hyannis fire Lieutenant Dusty Cabral said the left-engine cut out during a maneuver in which pilots touch down briefly and take off again without coming to a full stop. There were two pilots in the plane at the time.
“Engine failure is not common and not good, especially during the maneuver they were doing,” Cabral said, “But I guess that’s why they have two engines.”

HYANNIS – As Massachusetts opens vaccine eligibility this week, Harbor Health, the Hyannis Fire Department, and the Town of Barnstable have partnered to create a new vaccination clinic at the Barnstable Adult Community Center (BACC) in Hyannis.
Harbor Community Health Center in Hyannis began vaccinating patients and community members at the Zion Church in Hyannis in February. To expand vaccine appointments, Harbor collaborated with the Hyannis Fire Department and Town of Barnstable Health to open a larger vaccine clinic at the BACC.
“We are grateful for the support from the Town of Barnstable and Hyannis Fire Department– this kind of collaboration is critical to getting shots into arms and helping all members of our community stay healthy and safe,” said Mary Jo Brogna, director of Nursing for Harbor Health.
