The four-seat Cardinal Cessna 177 landed at John Wayne Airport en route from Las Vegas about 6 p.m. , said Orange County Sheriff’s Lt. Lynn Nehring. The plane suffered minor damage, but neither person aboard was injured, according to Federal Aviation Administration operations officer Diana Jourbart.
