Jared Hill, a farmer near Canton, says a small-plane made an emergency landing in his field.
CANTON, South Dakota (Dakota News Now) - Three people are safe after a small-plane made an emergency landing in a soybean field north of Canton.
Witnesses tell Dakota News Now it happened around 9:30 Monday morning.
Officials haven’t released any details, but a Dakota News Now photographer spoke with Jared Hill, a farmer who owns the field where the plane landed.
Hill says he was delivering mail (his second job) when it all unfolded.
“I was delivering mail, and this was my route, and I saw a plane here and whipped in and made sure everything was okay, and I walked out there and they were fine. They weren’t hurt or anything,” Hill said.
Hill says the plane has since been removed from his land.
Another Cirrus in the news with engine failure.
ReplyDeleteRight! They are dropping like flies.
DeleteAnother Cirrus CAPS chute deployment save.
ReplyDeleteGreat technology & save. Kudos to the leader of general aviation safety advancements.
ReplyDeleteA similar Cessna or a Piper could've just landed on any of a dozen straight dirt roads in that flat farmland part of SD. The one huge advantage the CAPS gives the Cirrus is if it was nighttime, over forested areas, or over the mountains flight, then the parachute undoubtedly saves lives in the engine out emergency.
