From the AP & WUSA9.com’s George VanDaniker:
A man was killed Saturday afternoon when the single-engine plane he was flying crashed in the yard of a home on Warehouse Creek Lane in Anne Arundel County.
Diane Spitaliere of the Federal Aviation Administration said the plane, a Hawker Beechcraft, crashed at about 4:30 p.m. one quarter mile east of a runway at Lee Airport.
The plane caught fire and firefighters quickly extinguished it. The identity of the pilot was not released.
Airport manager Van Lee said the pilot was the only person on board as the plane was returning to the airport. Lee said the plane suddenly banked to the right and struck some trees before crashing.
Lee said a big plume of smoke was visible from the airport.
Weather conditions were clear Saturday afternoon.
