Thankfully, no one in the neighborhood was injured, as the plane didn’t hit a home or land on any animals. Still, it’s terrifying to witness a plane come crashing down toward your property.
Many X users also commented on the aircraft itself, which some labeled as “bada$$” and a “cool plane!”
“Hopefully that’s not a legit P-51 Mustang,” one person wrote. “Looks like a kit build replica, perhaps.”
Someone else added, “It looks like a homebuilt P-51 to me. A smaller version of the real thing.”
Police revealed that the pilot went to the hospital with minor injuries after the Novi plane crash. A large tree limb also broke off a massive tree, which was then dangling and attached to the aircraft.
Police confirmed the pilot was the only passenger.
Surrounding roads were closed after the incident. It’s unclear where the pilot was coming from or heading to. Additionally, the reason for the crash remains unknown. This story is still developing.
