"I'm based over in Hampton and I was coming over to Carrollton to fill it up with gas for a trip and I guess the totalizer was recording inaccurately because it ran out," McMahon told WGCL-TV. "With no power on this airplane it drops pretty quickly so I had to keep the nose down and keep the speed up and I saw the median and aimed for it."
McMahon successfully landed on the median between the lanes of Highway 166 in Carroll County.
He said the landing was a bit bumpy due to his 130 mph speed.
"I think I did an okay job, I didn't hit any cars and I didn't kill myself," McMahon said.
McMahon said he suffered some minor back pain as a result of the rough landing, but there were no other injuries.
