A crash landing -- and one lucky teenager.
An 18-year-old pilot in training walked away after he crashed a small plane about half a mile from his house in LaGrange County Monday night.
"I'm still shaking from it," says Jordan Stoltzfus. "I flew up to Elkhart, did a couple takeoff and landings."
Then the 18-year-old decided to fly over his house, north of Shipshewana.
"I was doing a [maneuver] around my house, and I was on my second turnaround and the engine started struggling a little bit and it completely gave out."
He says he did everything he's been trained to do, but the engine wouldn't start.
"I started freaking out then a little bit," says Jordan. "I started losing altitude and speed and I started falling. And I lost control and brought it down in the yard and hit the propane tank."
Jordan's dad had just pulled up their driveway across the road.
"I stepped out and I seen the strobe light on the tail," described Rich Stoltzfus. "I wasn't sure if he was flying today or not and I asked my wife if Jordan is flying and she said 'I think he is' and I said 'I think he crashed into the house across the street from us.'"
Rich called 911 and sped down the driveway and across the road to find propane quickly spreading and his son out of the plane and safe.
"I was -- I'm speechless yet. God has a plan for him," Rich said.
Jordan says he has about 10 hours of flight time so far and two hours solo.
Even though he's pretty shaken up, he knows he's lucky, and he says he will fly again.
Jordan is a senior at Westview High School in LaGrange County. He plans to study aviation at a college in Kansas in the fall.
No one was in that home the plane hit. A neighbor says a family of three just moved out a week ago.
The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating.
