Plane Emergency Landing
(Molalla, OR) -- A plane bound for Bend made an emergency landing on a remote Clackamas County gravel road. The rented single-engine Cessna took off from Washington County Wednesday afternoon with one passenger, but after just a short distance, the pilot reported engine trouble and made an emergency landing on a gravel road near the Molalla River. Both people on board walked away unhurt, although the aircraft suffered some damage. An Oregon National Guard Black Hawk helicopter happened to be training in the area and heard the distress call. They picked up the pair and flew them to the Mulino airport.
