According to the Federal Aviation Administration, the plane is owned by Planelease LLC in Mason City. That LLC is owned by Douglas N. Rozendaal of Mason City. The Tylorcraft model L-2M fixed wing single-engine was manufactured in 1943. The small army green plane featured a U.S. military symbol on the side.

According to Cerro Gordo County Sheriff's Deputy Jeff Bryant, the incident was pretty much cleared up by the time he got to the scene from Mason City. 

"Whatever it was, it was taken care of," Bryant said. "The pilot fixed it and left."
