Plane Crashes Into Roof of Hangar at New Century Airport
- On June 16, 2025, a twin-engine King Air aircraft crashed onto the top of a hangar operated by Butler Avionics at New Century AirCenter near Gardner, Kansas.
- The crash happened after a mechanical malfunction caused the plane's left engine to fail, leading the pilot to lose control and strike the hangar roof.
- Two people were on board, both secured with safety harnesses; they were able to leave the aircraft on their own and were transported to a local hospital with minor injuries.
- Bryan Johnson, who leads the Johnson County Airport Commission, acknowledged the difficulty of the situation but confirmed that the two people in the plane suffered only minor injuries and that everyone inside the hangar was evacuated safely.
- The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board will conduct an inquiry, and the plane is expected to stay on the hangar roof until June 17 to allow time for a thorough examination.
