WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (WPVI) -- Storm clouds forced a pilot to make an emergency landing on a northeastern Pennsylvania golf course.

The pilot was flying this single-engine world-war one replica plane from Wisconsin to upstate New York last night.

When the weather got really bad, he landed on the fairway at the Honesdale Golf Club, northeast of Scranton.

People who were golfing at the time say the plane bounced a few times before stopping.
