spirit of Fiesta finalists unveiled at Lobero Theatre

according to Angi Daus, the marketing coordinator for the Santa Barbara Airport.

Scott Perry, who owns the Lemon Tree Inn in Santa Barbara, was a passenger on the plane and told the News-Press, “It was a hard landing, aggressive turn from the coast … came in hot!”

Mr. Perry confirmed that people were safe onboard, but definitely shaken up for a second. “You could hear the tire blow and could feel it as well,” he shared. “They turned off the engine once we stopped and could tell the plane was leaning to one side.”

Additionally, Mr. Perry mentioned that they were in the plane waiting for about an hour after the incident and had to wait for firefighters to check if there was no damage or if anything caught fire. This incident caused slight disruptions to the daily flight schedule at the airport, including three inbound flights that had to circle offshore until the airplane was out of the runway safety zone. Two outgoing flights were also delayed. email: abahnsen@newspress.com
