FRENCH VALLEY ---- A Murrieta pilot was hospitalized with moderate injuries Thursday when his plane crashed just after take-off at French Valley Airport.
The crash happened on the runway about 7:30 p.m. as the pilot's wife watched from the airport, witnesses said. She was visibly distraught and crying as she walked back from the runway as her husband was being rushed to a nearby hospital after the crash.
Darrell Roberts, 45, was taken by ambulance to Inland Valley Medical Center in Wildomar, said Riverside County sheriff's Sgt. Mark Lohman. The pilot had moderate injuries, fire officials at the crash scene said.
The single-engine Beechcraft Skipper sat mangled on the runway, its tail twisted to the left and the engine compartment smashed.
John Heberling, 56, of Murrieta, was just leaving the airport's cafe with his wife and mother when he saw the aircraft having trouble.
"It looked like he caught a gust of wind or something," Heberling said. The plane did a complete loop before slamming to the runway, he said.
"He did a great job leveling it out" before the aircraft crashed belly first, Heberling said.
Heberling said he and others ran to the runway to help the pilot. There was fire in the engine compartment, Heberling said, and they pulled Roberts from the plane.
"I was really afraid the plane was going to burst into flames," Heberling said.
When he got to the injured pilot, "he was conscious and talking," Heberling said. "He was really scared and said he couldn't feel his legs."
Heberling said he pinched the pilot's leg. "He said he could feel it, so I told him he was OK," Heberling said.
Officials with the Federal Aviation Administration were notified of the crash and will begin an investigation today, Lohman said.
Aircraft traffic in and out of the airport was delayed until work crews could remove the destroyed plane. The runway reopened around 9 p.m.
