Plane takes off without pilot in Ohio

Federal investigators said Monday they will try to figure out how a vintage propeller plane could take off without its pilot and fly for more than an hour before crash-landing into a farm field. Sunday's mishap involved a 50-year-old, single-engine Aeronica Champ which took off from Urbana Grimes Field near Dayton, Ohio, after pilot Paul Sirks got out to hand-crank the propeller. "It's a little peculiar so we'll be looking into it," Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Tanya Wagner said, adding that she had never heard of a case where a plane took off on its own. The plane buzzed the field and then flew north for nearly 100 miles before running out of fuel and smashing into a farm field.
