GREENE (AP) - The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating an emergency landing of a small airplane near Greene in northern Iowa.
The single-engine Cessna-150 landed in a farm field on Dec. 31.
The pilot, 18-year-old Kevin Brown of Greene, says the engine seized at about 1,000 feet. He tried unsuccessfully to restart the engine in mid-air, then found the field and landed.
The plane was damaged but Brown and a passenger only suffered bumps and bruises.
The plane was a rental from the Waverly Airport.
