The aircraft came down short of a Destin Executive Airport runway at about 10 a.m. on Sunday, crashing into a tree outside a residence in the area of Main Street and Planet Drive, the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office confirmed while releasing photo and video footage from the scene.

The pilot and passenger were identified by the local law enforcement agency as a father and son from Kansas who had been flying into the Destin area for a vacation.

The men were named as 47-year-old Jason Dougherty, of Garden City, and 22-year old Caleb Dougherty of Salina. The men were traveling with a pet dog at the time of the incident.

Problems reportedly occurred as the plane was coming in to land. The occupants did not suffer any physical injuries.

“Amazingly two men and their yellow Labrador retriever came out of this situation without a scratch,” deputies wrote.

Authorities said the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) would investigate the accident and stated the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) had also been notified of the crash.

The sheriff’s office published a short video clip to Facebook showing the plane sitting nose-first inside a tree. The post has since attracted more than 250 comments and 1,300 shares on social media, with many commenters expressing relief that the father and son had survived the ordeal.

“A lot of lucky people and one pupper this morning,” one person wrote under the initial police post about the crash. “For sure!” the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office account responded.

The owner of the property that was almost hit by the plane, Micki Gramm, told local media outlet WEAR that she had been walking her own pet dog at the time of the crash. She said that she frequently sits in the same area where the aircraft went down on Sunday morning.

“If I had gotten home from the walk any earlier, I would have been sitting right there watching the planes because that’s what I do on the weekend,” the homeowner told WEAR.

“Thank goodness everyone was okay and no-one was hurt, it was a miracle. It didn’t hit the house, it didn’t hit anything other than treelands.” It will be a few days before the plane is removed by crane.

The NTSB and FAA have been contacted for comment by Newsweek.

The crash has been logged by aviation-safety.net, a website that maintains an accident database. It listed the plane involved as a Beechcraft V35 Bonanza. “Both occupants and a pet dog were uninjured and the aircraft sustained substantial damage,” it said in a brief description of the incident.

“The classic Beechcraft Bonanza was introduced in 1947 and is still built today by Raytheon Aircraft,” the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum says online.

The fact-sheet adds: “The four-place aircraft sported all-metal construction and retractable landing gear for the sophisticated or executive pilot. Initially designed with the distinctive butterfly or V tail—a conventional tail model was offered too—it was the basis for later Beech aircraft.”
