The Kansas Highway Patrol reports the pilot, 39-year-old Lincoln, Nebraska resident Drew Jensen, said he ran out of fuel due to a defective fuel selector on his Beech 836 Bonanza aircraft. 

Jensen made an emergency landing in a grass meadow about 13 miles east of Manhattan around 8:40, west of Lake Elbo and Noel Roads.

There were two passengers on board the plane, both from Nebraska.
