Cuban authorities removed a small plane that was crash-landed outside Havana by a novice American pilot.
The pilot took the plane from a Marathon, Fla., airport Tuesday afternoon and flew south to Cuba.
Witnesses said the pilot did not look seriously hurt.
The pilot was identified as John Reese, 55, by a U.S. flight instructor and as Milo John Reese by local papers. U.S. authorities say Reese has a history of disappearing and once faked his death in Nevada to draw attention to prostitution.
