<p><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Joseph R. Bryant, 53, of Goldendale, Wash., had taken off Saturday morning from the Leesburg Executive Airport for Georgia. About an hour into the flight, the weather conditions began to worsen so Bryant turned the one-seater Sonex experimental aircraft around to return to the Leesburg Airport. As he approached the airport, he began to experience engine trouble and landed the aircraft in a field in the 19,000 block of Sycolin Road.</span></p>
