A vintage aircraft veered off the runway Tuesday afternoon at Centennial Airport.

South Metro Fire said the pilot had a battery problem after takeoff. Officials said he turned around to land the plane and had to hand crank the landing gear. After landing, one side of the landing gear collapsed and the plane skidded off the runway.

The two people on board the plan were not hurt.
