A Kentucky man is recovering after a plane crash in Okmulgee County. Rescuers thought the worst when 64 year old Gary Gallo, from Mayfield, Kentucky, contacted the Okmulgee airport Thursday afternoon saying he was coming in for an emergency landing. Gallo landed successfully in a farmer's field about three miles north of the airport. He talked to a pilot flying above him to give his location. Gallo was enroute to Oklahoma City. He was taken to a Tulsa hospital after complaining about a sore neck. He's listed in good condition at a Tulsa hospital.
