A small plane, resembling a Nazi aircraft from World War II, made an emergency landing on a highway north of Atlanta in Gwinnett County Monday.
Authorities said the plane, which looked like it was modeled after a Nazi-era Messerschmitt BF 109 with a swastika on its tail, landed safely, and was pulled into the highway median near Dacula, as officials waited for the Federal Aviation Administration to respond to the scene.
The FAA identified the plane as a Sonex experimental, amateur-built aircraft, which made the emergency landing around 12:45 p.m.
The aircraft was about three miles shy of the Gwinnett County Airport when it experienced some kind of emergency.
The pilot was the only person on board and was not injured.
