The pilot, Dave Lennon, was the only one on board. He was evaluated on scene and was not hurt.
"I knew about a half a second before I crashed that I couldn't recover it," Lennon told NBC10 Boston. "I just tried to stay with it 100%, and I'm just fortunate that I didn't hit anything else and I walked out without a scratch, basically."

Lennon says he bought the plane in 2004 and has flown it in and out of the Hampton Airfield hundreds of times.
