OSAGE COUNTY – Two men avoided injury after a small plane made an emergency landing on Thursday

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 1942 Fixed Wing Single Engine aircraft piloted by Nathaniel H Perlman, 38, Fort Worth, TX., had taken off near 1626 Brant Street in Osage City and the airplane lost power.

The pilot tried to make an emergency landing in an open field.

The plane landed but the ground was too wet causing the gear to become stuck and it broke off. The plane came to rest facing north.

Perlman and a passenger Raymond J. Lallo, Jr., 52, Fort Carson, CO., were not injured.

The accident remains under investigation.
