Officer- Do you know why I stopped you? Pilot- I was flying to low, I have a wing light out, I almost hit a Chevy, I flicked off an officer, and speeediiiinnngg!!!. Officer- No I was wondering WHY THE F_#% YOU LANDED YOUR PLANE ON MY HIGHWAY!!!!
sorry but those cops are dumb... why not shut the road if you are going to sit there waiting for it to land. soooo Dumb... then run out and stop a car that is in front of a plane?? wtf? why would you bother? the car will drive off and no worries?
why keep it pinned up in a museum? I agree with preserving them. But they were designed to tear through the sky at 300 mph. And there is almost nothing more beautiful than seeing a vintage war bird doing what it was meant to do, FLY! If i owned it i would fly also.
actually, highways are an alternative to landing in emergency situations. thats why when people train for pilots licenses, they are taught IFH. its a recommended procedure; you have to radio in and the airport will notify patrols and they will clear the highway
too much witness is not a bad thing, for insurance purposes. also still unclear if the car hit the plane or something, maybe the driver can give some clue on what might have went wrong, or to better describe the scene.
Oh man I remember this! We were driving back from swim practice when we heard this on my dad's police scanner! My dad and I went to check it out (we live in Oshksoh), and seeing this was crazy shit I tell you!
ya 41 is like the highway of hell and then when u get on 51 its even worse, i dont know whats up with fond du lac its messed up i live .5 mile from 51 and i barely ever go on it
he was attempting to land at EAA 15 miles north in Oshkosh, but had engine trouble. There is a runway 100 yards to the west of the highway but landing on 41 is more exciting i guess
Knowing Wisc cops they probably cited him for occupying both lanes without a permit, damaging state property(sign) and landing in a no landing zone! State cops are the glue made from old horses aft anatomy!
My son and I were at an air show in Stuart, FL today, and the announcer told us about this incident, so of course, I did a search on YouTube as soon as we got home. Turns out his engine shuddered, he declared an emergency and was cleared into Fond Du Lac, but his engine died before he made the airport, then he damaged the right wing on a road sign, so the end result was replace the engine and repair the wing. Not bad, considering.
this is an amazing pilot u have known since i was very little he is a night and day air show pilot "bill leff" on you tube for some of his shows he landed this out of pure skill not luck
The pilot was very lucky. At 0:36 you'll notice power lines not too far from where he stopped.
