LANCSTER, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say a small plane landed safely in central Pennsylvania despite damage to its landing gear after it hit a deer during takeoff from a suburban Philadelphia airport. LNP newspapers (http://bit.ly/2f5owQY ) reports that the pilot was able to land the Beechcraft BE58 at Lancaster Airport at 8:35 a.m. Tuesday after a portion of the landing gear fell off when it hit the deer during takeoff from Wings Field in Blue Bell. Airport director David Eberly said "they knew they had a serious problem" after hitting the deer and decided to land the plane on its underside. Minor damage to the underside and propellers was reported. The plane owned by Aero-Tech Services was taking three passengers to Pittsburgh for business. The four people aboard were uninjured. The deer was killed. ___ Information from: LNP, http://lancasteronline.com
