Middlebury, Conn. (WTNH) - An amphibious plane made an emergency landing in Lake Quassapaug.
The plane landed around 7:47am on Sunday morning.
The aircraft, known as a Sea Plane, had mechanical difficulty with one of it's landing gears. The problem was caused by a hydraulic line issue.
The pilot was in touch with Oxford Airport and safely landed the plane on the lake. The problem was repaired, and the plane was able to take off within an hour of landing.
Middlebury Police and the FAA do not consider this a crash and just consider this incident just an emergency landing.
