Event date: April 24, 2007 -- Location: Oxnard Shores Near the Power Plant, Oxnard, California -- Plane lands on the beach -- Photos to follow: three.
A vintage airplane caught fire while flying over Oxnard and was forced to make a belly landing at Oxnard Shores, narrowly missing a fisherman as it slid across the sand. Neither of the two people inside the propeller-driven fighter plane nor the fisherman on the beach were hurt. The aircraft, a T-28 Trojan Fennec, is a piston-engine-powered plane used by the U.S. armed forces for training from the 1950s to the early 1970s.

The plane landed at Oxnard Shores, less than 1/4 mile from Ocean Pacific Yacht Sales office. See how exciting it is for us to work and live at Oxnard Shores!

The After Math.....On April 25, 2007 clean up crew is attempting to move the plane off the beach (yeah, right). After sitting on the crane for a day, the plane was moved away by a truck or something. It must have been quite a road hog. We would have liked to seen it!
