Pilot Injured After Ultralight Incident at Arlington Airport

Arlington, Washington- According to the City of Arlington, Washington, tonight was a scary evening for one local pilot whose ultralight tried to take off without him.

The pilot was treated on-scene for minor injuries caused when he attempted to keep the aircraft on the ground.

The Ultralight landed on the roof of an adjacent Arlington Municipal Airport hangar, which received little to no damage.

The Ultralight was secured by Arlington Fire Department until representatives from the NTSB and FAA okay’d the removal. Ultralight is now back on the ground, little to no damage to the hangars, and just minor injuries for the pilot. Great teamwork tonight with all staff of the City – Arlington Fire, Arlington Police, and Arlington Airport staff!!
