PLANE MAKES EMERGENCY LANDING IN BEAN FIELD

(Blooming Grove, IN)--The pilot of a small airplane made a safe emergency landing in a Franklin County bean field at around sunset on Friday night.  The FAA had reported receiving a Mayday call with a plane that had been tracked to the Fairfield area near Brookville Lake.  After the call, the pilot safely landed the four-seat Cessna aircraft.  The initial indication was that he had run out of fuel.  FAA records indicate he had taken off from just west of Terre Haute.  (Photo:  Fayette/Union County scanners)
