A small plane crashed in the water off Sombrero Beach in Marathon Monday afternoon, but the three people on board were not injured, the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office said.
The Waco model plane crashed in shallow water near Marathon Airport at 2:35 p.m., Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said.
The plane’s three occupants were treated on the scene and declined to be taken to the hospital, according to the sheriff’s office.
The single-engine biplane was built in 1989, online records show.
