According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, the
1997 Lancair IV was piloted by Bruce Stratton, 74, of Santa Barbara, Calif. He
was flying to Hays from Junction City when the aircraft developed mechanical
problems..
Stratton landed in a field two miles south and two miles east of Sylvan Grove
at about 4 p.m.
... It's a relief to hear he's okay!
