FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - Smith Field Airport officials said no one was hurt when a plane crash landed Saturday afternoon.

Fort Wayne police and firefighters were dispatched to an aircraft accident at Smith Field Airport off Lima and Cook Roads around 4:15 p.m.

NewsChannel 15 has learned that the plane was doing take off and landing exercises. During one of the landings, the plane landed without the landing gear down. The director of the airport said it's not clear yet if the pilot didn't put down the gear for some reason or if there was a mechanical issue with the plane.

There were two people on the plane. No one was hurt. It's not know if one of the people on the plane was an instructor. There is a flight school located at the airport.

The plane is registered out of Auburn. The names of the people on board haven't been released.

Crews are raising the plane to lower the landing gear and tow the plane off the runway.
