GAINESBORO, Tenn. (WTVF) — An single-engine airplane made an emergency landing near the Jackson County/Smith County line on Tuesday morning.
According to Jackson County officials, the call came in right before 9 a.m. The aircraft was traveling to Ohio from Murfreesboro when it experienced engine problems.
Jackson County 911 dispatchers were able to use GPS coordinates to locate the aircraft’s approximate location.
The plane was found just off of Salt Lick Creek Road and both the pilot and passenger were not injured.
My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
