47-year old Jason Dougherty of Garden City Kansas and 22-year old Caleb Dougherty of Salina as well as a Labrador retriever flying with them, survived without a scratch after just missing a home and landing in a tree in the area of Main Street and Planet Drive around 10 a.m.
They say the plane began experiencing engine trouble as they were coming into land.
The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the accident.
