Anybody lost a Yak?

Or maybe a NAMC CJ-6A?

Seems someone has left one in a field, much to the bemusement of the local constabulary...

A little less conversation,
a little more aviation...

I spoke to the Nanchang pilot 20 minutes ago.

Precautionary landing which unfortunately ended in some soft ground.

No injuries.

All of the relevant authorities have been informed, so I suspect the newspaper article contains a certain amount of journalistic hyperbole.

No schools narrowly missed?
No disaster averted?

C'mon I think the journos were commendibly restrained to report it as "plane lands in field, nothing else to say".

Good to hear all is well with pilot and machine.

It's good to hear that it was not necessary for the authorities to hunt for black boxes!
