BURLINGTON, ONT. – This is one field trip that won’t be forgotten any time soon.
Three high school students from Oakville were aboard a small propeller plane Thursday morning when the pilot was forced to make an emergency landing in nearby Burlington.
Halton Regional Police say the Grade 9 students from White Oaks Secondary School were doing aerial observations for a school project when the plane had mechanical difficulties.
The 23-year-old pilot of the four-seater Cessna Skyhawk 172 was forced to make an emergency landing in a large field behind Corpus Christi Catholic Secondary School on Upper Middle Road near Appleby Line.
Police say the three students – two male and one female – and the male pilot were checked by paramedics and all were OK.
Sgt. Brian Carr says the pilot did a good job getting everyone safely back on the ground.
