The NTSB on Monday removed the wreckage of the glider that crashed near Herlong Airport.

“I saw, you know, a bunch of police and fire trucks just come in this way,” said Gay, who lives near the airport. “I didn’t know what happened.”

Gay said he’s lived across from the airport for almost 20 years. He hears planes daily and even questions how this one went down.“Yeah, that sounds unusual, because I’ve yet to see one just take a nosedive going straight down, there’s usually just coasting around in that circle,” Gay said.The FAA said glider pilots don’t have to have a medical license and can be 14 years old to operate one.Gay said he knows of other plane crashes related to this airport.
