A flight instructor and his student were injured today when the single-engine airplane they were piloting crashed into a hangar during takeoff from Corona Municipal Airport.
The accident happened just before 9 a.m. on the west end of the field. Witnesses reported the two-seat Cessna 150 Aerobat was doing touch-and-go landings when it suddenly veered off the runway and flew into the closed hangar, nosing straight into the doors.
Both aviators were injured, one seriously. The victims, whose names were not released, were transported to separate hospitals for treatment.
No one on the ground was hurt.
Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Ian Gregor said it wasn't immediately clear who was at the controls when the Cessna crashed.
He said the National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the accident.
The plane, manufactured in 1974, is registered to a Cheyenne, Wyoming- based investment firm and may be one of the fleet of aircraft operated by a flying club at the airport.
