'It was Halloween night'

"It was Halloween night in 1997 and we were in this plane and we lost the power to the engine so we looked around and found the fields by CG Brown pool. We radioed the tower and told them to let the cops know we were coming in.

"It was Halloween night in 1997 and we were in this plane and we lost the power to the engine so we looked around and found the fields by CG Brown pool. We radioed the tower and told them to let the cops know we were coming in. The pilot said look down there and see if there's anybody there. He tips the wing so I can get a view. There's one person walking off the field so the pilot came around ready to land. We were doing about 100 miles an hour and we touch down at one end of the field and we came to a full stop at the other end of the field.
Everybody was safe and sound."
