BENSON, NC (WTVD) -- A small plane headed from Florida to New Jersey was forced to make an emergency landing in a Johnston County field on Thanksgiving.
The pilot and another person on board said they lost power on the twin-engine Seabee and had to put down near Baileys Crossroads Rd. and Benson Hardee Rd. in the Benson area - close to the Harnett County line - just after 6 p.m.
The Seabee can land and take off from both water and a normal runway.
The men were checked out by paramedics, but were not seriously hurt.
The plane is reportedly now stuck in the muddy field, so the men planned to stay overnight in a local motel.
The FAA is expected to investigate.
