COLONIE -- A small plane made an emergency landing at Albany International
Aiport this afternoon, but no one was injured when the Beechcraft 1900
turboprop touched down without incident. Only the pilot and co-pilot were
aboard the flight from Boston to Rockland, Maine, airport spokesman Doug
Myers said.


The plane's nose gear was malfunctioning, but "about 25 miles outside of
Albany, we got the indication that all the wheels were down and locked,
which meant it could land safely,'' said Myers.


The aircraft is owned by Virginia-based Colgan Air Inc. After the landing
shortly before 12:30 p.m., a secondary runway was closed while crews towed
the plane.
