Two single-engine private planes had back-to-back
problems reported within minutes of each other
Saturday afternoon at Bishop Airport. Both landed
safely as emergency crews waited on alert. 

A small aircraft that took off from the Oakland County
airport with three passengers reported a few pressure
problems but landed without incident on the runway in
Flint around 3 p.m., airport spokeswoman Pat Corfman
said. 

In the same hour, a student pilot flying back to
Western Michigan University after a practice flight to
Flint realized he had not shut the door properly. 

He circled for a while before landing again in Flint
to shut the door. 

"Firefighters said as soon as they left for the first
issue, they were called to turn back around for
another one," Corfman said. 

"It was two full moons this month," she said of the
rarity of the incidents.
