The pilot, Brian Harris, 23, of West Lafayette, Ind was flying a Piper J-3 Cub over Ocean City when the aircraft experienced engine trouble 2 miles from the Ocean City airport forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing in the marsh off 52nd street.

The airplane was disassembled on the scene and returned to Paramount Air Service, which has a dozen aircraft, Tomalino said.
Harris was not injured in the crash.
