A small plane was forced to make an emergency landing Saturday evening in a field east of Reed City.
The sheriff’s department says two people were flying from Greenville to Traverse City.

Deputies say the pilot, Benjamin Lapage of Marshall, and the passenger, Eric Nuffer of Traverse City were not hurt.
The plane did receive minor damage from the landing.
The sheriff’s office says they are assisting the Federal Aviation Administration with the investigation on the incident.

Wow. That is an amazing outcome! Kudo's to the pilot for walking away with an intact airplane!
ReplyDeleteYeah that's an impressive landing outcome in that snow and grass. Total recipe for a nose over if not executed to perfection (textbook soft field landing and added challenge of the unknown under the snow).
