An aircraft went down near Boerne Stage Airfield in Boerne, Texas, with two people managing to exit the plane safely, though officials say it remains unclear whether anyone else was aboard. The crash prompted an immediate law enforcement response Friday afternoon.
According to the Bexar County Sheriff's Office, authorities were responding to the reported crash near the airfield, which sits off Interstate 10 along Haddock Way. The sheriff's office said two individuals exited the aircraft safely, but it reported that the presence of any additional occupants remained unknown as the situation continued to unfold.
Details Still Emerging at the Scene
As of Friday afternoon, the incident was still developing. Officials had not released the aircraft type, what caused it to go down or the extent of any damage. KSAT reported that a news crew was en route to the scene for more information.
Beyond the initial account, further details had not been confirmed. Hoodline will update this story as authorities release more information.
Area Has Seen Previous Crashes
Friday's incident is not the first time a plane has gone down near Boerne Stage Airfield. In September 2023, an 85-year-old pilot lost control of a single-engine aircraft while landing and crashed into a hangar near Boerne Stage Road and Haddock Way, as reported by KSAT. That pilot was taken to University Hospital in stable but serious condition, and the plane and hangar sustained moderate damage, with no fire threat or leaking fluids reported at the time.
In August 2021, a small plane crashed behind a home off Boerne Stage Road and Bridlewood Trail, hospitalizing a man and a woman whose injuries were described by officials as not life-threatening, as reported by KSAT. The cause of that crash was never determined in initial reporting, and no property damage was reported aside from the wrecked aircraft itself. Sheriff's deputies and the Leon Springs Fire Department worked that scene.
Earlier Incidents and Airfield Services
The cases referenced here include the 2021 and 2023 crashes described above, along with a separate incident documented by the National Transportation Safety Board. On June 5, 2005, a homebuilt airplane was substantially damaged in a hard landing at Boerne Stage Field, and its sole occupant received minor injuries. For local aviation context, Boerne Stage Airfield lists aircraft maintenance, aircraft rentals and training, and hangar rental and transient parking among its services.
Friday's crash remains under active response, and many basic questions, including the cause, the aircraft involved and whether anyone besides the two reported individuals was aboard, had not yet been answered by authorities.
