The future of aviation has touched down in Chautauqua County.

On Wednesday night, Kyle Clark, founder and CEO of Beta Technologies, flew his electric 7,000 pound fixed-wing aircraft into the Jamestown airport so it could be charged and fly out in the morning.

Jamestown is one of the few airports in the country that has an electric charging station, which was installed last year by Beta Technologies. Clark’s plane was the first aircraft to use the station.
