A U.S. businessman used an app to find his iPhone in a rural pasture after it fell about 9,300 feet (2,834 meter) during a flight from Houston.

    The Wichita Falls Times Record News reported Thursday that Ben Wilson says his cellphone still works.

    Wilson says he and a pilot were traveling home July 27 in a Beechcraft Bonanza when a pressure change caused the passenger door to open slightly. Wilson didn’t realize his cellphone fell out until after landing.

    Wilson owns Gas Corp. of America in Wichita Falls. He and an employee used an app to narrow the search to near Jacksboro, more than 50 miles (80 km) away.

    The pair set out on their search July 28, and ended up in a rural pasture. They found the cellphone under a mesquite tree.
