Emergency Landing During Flight To Niagara Falls - Pilot Peter Besenyei

Besenyei was required to make an emergency landing near St Thomas Airport in Ontario during a photo shoot and the damage could not be repaired in time for the Windsor race. Thanks to his skilled piloting, the Hungarian pilot, who got a season-high fourth place in San Diego, walked away with only a few bruises and was not otherwise injured. I was doing a flight with Nigel to take some pictures and during the final run I had a technical problem, Besenyei said. I lost oil pressure, which in the end caused the engine to fail, and I had to make a forced landing outside the field. The plane is damaged but I can repair it. The most important thing is that there was no injury. Im 100 percent okay and thats the most important thing. Besenyei will join the championship again at the next race which takes place in Budapest, Hungary.

Here's a great article about the emergency landing written by Red Bull Air Race pilot Nigel Lamb: http://tinyurl.com/kk3kwj

This is what happens when you run out of red bull.

You lose your wings.

Since planes always seem to crash just short of the runway, why don't they just move all of the runways?

I had to land my RC Sbach 342 upside down today because the Elevator jammed in a pitch down position, I had to work the throttle to do an inverted landing no serious damage. At least when an RC plane malfunctions it isn't a real danger, in real life I'd shit a brick.

'I had only one second to decide where to land'

so you land upside down... Excellent choice.
