The front wheel of an experimental airplane buckled on landing, causing the Altoona-Blair County Airport to close a runway while emergency crews responded. The plane flipped over after a “hard” touchdown. The Martinsburg Fire Company responded and covered the plane with foam to prevent a fire. The FFA was investigating.

Martinsburg Borough and North Woodbury Township were planning a community workshop to discuss a Joint Municipal Comprehensive Plan. The municipalities were looking for community input and feedback on the plan’s preliminary goals and objectives.
