MARSTONS MILLS — A single-engine plane dropped three parachutists safely yesterday morning then crashed into a two-story Colonial home on Race Lane on its return to Cape Cod Airfield.

...
Plane owner Jim Mendonca, 36, told police he had just opened his new business, Sky Dive Cape Cod, and the crash occurred on the company's first run. The pilot had just dropped the parachutists without any trouble, but was unable to land at the grassy Cape Cod Airfield, about a mile away from Malone's house, Sweeney said.
