HARPSWELL – A single-engine aircraft that made an emergency landing at a grass air strip in Harpswell on Sunday evening was towed on Monday.

The plane ran out of gas and there were no serious injuries, according to Cumberland County dispatch. The air strip is off of Birchmere Lane at Fryar Field.

The owner of the plane and others helped push the aircraft out of the nearby thicket on Monday so it could be towed. He declined to answer questions when approached by a Press Herald employee.

The plane did not appear to be damaged.
