https://unionrecorder.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2026/11/6701436277461416560.mp4 A single-engine aircraft pilot was forced to make an emergency landing in a large, open field off CC Camp Road in Baldwin County on Tuesday, Nov. 10. He safely landed the plane without any injuries. The aircraft did not sustain any damage in the incident. “The pilot declared a mayday emergency after they began experiencing a partial loss of power due to what was believed to be a mechanical issue with the engine,” said Baldwin County Fire Rescue Deputy Chief of Operations Bradley Towe. “They didn’t have enough power to maintain the altitude they had been flying at earlier.” The blue and white Cessna 172N began slowly descending and successfully landed in the Coopers community off Pancras Road. Towe said the aircraft was en route from Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton to the airport in Perry, located in Houston County.
