The New Orleans Fire Department said crews were en route to a report of a possible plane crash at the Lakefront Airport.
The crash wasn't confirmed by the NOFD, but crews were en route to investigate the report.
Two independent witnesses tell WDSU it appears a plane went into the water just off the airport property.
The report came in about 4 p.m.LINK

Shouldn't be a large aircraft, right?

According to another pilot, the plane was a Piper Cherokee that was coming in for a landing when it lost power. The down plane's pilots had no injuries and refused EMS treatment.

Went down 50 yds from sea wall.
Pilot no longer on scene at this time.
Police awaiting FAA to arrive.

Per WWL: UPDATE: The plane apparently ran low on fuel and the pilot landed it in the lake and swam to shore, unharmed.
