A Piper Mirage made an emergency landing at Taylor County Airport after losing power from its single engine. The pilot, Jay Asdell, of South Bend, IN said he was flying from Bloomington, IN at 21,000 feet when he heard a loud noise, lost engine power and then noticed he had lost pressure from the engines turbo. After descending to a lower altitude the plane’s engine was able to produce power and landed safely at Taylor County Airport. Taylor County Rescue and Taylor County Fire Dept. responded but were canceled.
