JEFFERSON, Ga. — Authorities say an ultra-light aircraft made an emergency landing near the northeast Georgia town of Jefferson.
Jackson County Emergency Services Director Steve Nichols said the pilot was not hurt during Monday's landing in a pasture behind a subdivision north of Jefferson.
Nichols tells The Athens Banner-Herald (http://bit.ly/13fFRG8 ) that the pilot was a local man out for an afternoon of flying who had to land the craft due to some type of mechanical problem.
Few other details were available Tuesday morning.
