Near Crash landing In Margaritaville Wed Jun 5, 1:21 PM ET By The Associated Press WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Singer Jimmy Buffett flew his biplane into a runway sign at Palm Beach International Airport over the weekend, but was not injured. The Federal Aviation Administration (news - web sites) originally said a Buffett employee was at the controls of the Boeing Stearman when it collided with the sign on Saturday afternoon. The FAA told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel that the employee called the airport tower, so controllers thought the employee was the pilot. FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the plane was pushed off the runway by a wind gust. Buffett, who owns a home in the Town of Palm Beach, was arriving from Key West. The accident won't be investigated, she said. Buffett's publicist could not be reached for comment. The 55-year-old singer is best known for his 1977 hit "Margaritaville" and his legion of loyal fans known as Parrotheads.
