AIRCRAFT FORCE LANDED IN A FIELD, 9 MILES FROM ANDERSON, SC
The Anderson County Sheriff's Office, EMS and the Hopewell Fire Department responded to the pasture about 4 p.m. Monday, said Taylor Jones, the emergency services director at the Sheriff's Office.
Two people were on board when the Beechcraft BE35 landed, FAA spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said.
A female flight instructor and male pilot walked away from the hard landing in the 4500 block of Midway Road in Anderson, Jones said. The propeller was bent but the single-engine plane appeared to have suffered no major damage otherwise. The plane is registered to a Simpsonville resident, according to FAA records.
"They did a really good job in sitting down there in a pasture," Jones said.
The plane had engine trouble, according to the man and a woman who said they were on the plane but declined to give their names or provide other information.
The pilot was working on high-performance endorsement training, Jones said. The aircraft took off from the Downtown Greenville Airport and performed maneuvers at the Anderson airport, Jones said.
The plane ran into trouble as it was returning to Greenville.
"They're lucky. It could have been a lot worse," said Jim Williams, a volunteer with the Hopewell Fire Department.
