    A World War II-era plane crash-landed in Kansas after just completing flyovers for Memorial Day, officials said. The Kansas State Highway Patrol said in a crash report the pilot ran out of fuel while approaching the runway at Westport Airport in Wichita around 12:10 p.m. and attempted to restart the engine. The aircraft's engine failed to start, and the plane went down in a nearby neighborhood, police said. The 1943 Fairchild PT-23 was part of the Commemorative Air Force-Jayhawk Wing doing flyovers across the state, according to KWCH. The PT-23 was a trainer plane for the U.S. Army Air Force.
