The Cessna 172 had mechanical problems and landed on a rural road north of Lake Okeechobee. It was one of 18 planes being ferried to Miami. At Miami they were being shipped to Iraq.
Cessna spokesman Doug Oliver said the plane flew from Miami, where a diesel engine had been installed, to an undisclosed location in the Tampa area, where it was painted. On the return flight to Miami, the aircraft had engine trouble and made the emergency landing.
