Stewart Sign Stands Up to Plane Crash
Stewart signs are made to stand up to
many adverse conditions.
While airplane crashes
are not necessarily one of them, you wouldn’t
know that based on what took place in
Woodstock, IL, a quiet town 13 miles south of the
Wisconsin-Illinois border.
A single engine plane began experiencing
mechanical trouble shortly after takeoff and
attempted to return to the airport.
Witnesses were
startled by how low the plane was and reported
seeing it come in between a power line and a
barbed wire fence, grazing both.
The plane, a single-engine Forney F-1A Aircoupe, then crashed
into the sign in front of Greenwood Elementary School at 4818 Greenwood Rd.
, a half-mile south
of the airport, at about 9:10 a.
m.
Amazingly, both pilot and passenger were able to walk away from the crash, though the
aircraft sustained extensive damage.
