A pilot was injured after a banner plane made a hard landing in Middle Township, Cape May County, New Jersey Sunday afternoon.
The 20-year-old pilot was flying a Piper J3C-65 banner tow aircraft from Paramount Air around 2 p.m. As he was circling to land, the aircraft lost power and made a hard landing in a marsh area near the Paramount Air Service building on Stites Avenue.
The pilot, who was the only person inside the plane, suffered lacerations to his head and was taken to the hospital. Officials have not yet revealed his condition.
Both the FAA and police are investigating the incident.
