A single-engine plane made an emergency landing in a field at Robert Gray Middle School at 5505 S.W. 23rd Avenue about 7 p.m. Sunday night, according to authorities.



The 26-year-old pilot, Conrad McGreal, of Snohomish, Wash., was unharmed, according to Sgt. Pete Simpson of the Portland Police Bureau.



"He was fine," Simpson said. "He was shaken up more than anything."



Witnesses said that the plane had circled two times before landing, said Portland Fire Bureau spokeswoman Kim Kosmas. The incident also occurred after the airport received a report of a plane running out of fuel, she said.



Simpson said officials from the Federal Aviation Administration have been notified and will investigate.
