Aug 12 2010 Plane Wreck at Tyrone Mall St Pete

The pilot was heading back to the airport from Madeira Beach after flying a banner for three hours when his engine failed and he declared an emergency. The pilot then took caution and landed the plane near the Tyrone Square Mall. The plane was flying a banner for Advertising Air Force out of Albert Whitted Airport in St. Petersburg and is registered to Aerial Banners out of Pembroke Pines. Granata says the plane did hit a car on its way down, which caused minor damage. The plane also has damage on its left wing from clipping a tree to avoid hitting another car while landing, but otherwise is completely intact. The 25-year-old pilot was able to walk away from the accident with no injuries.
