August 5, 1989 I had an engine failure in my Cessna 170B (N170JA) just as I was entering Mystic Pass, in the Alaska Range. My front seat passenger was taking video -- and he continued to film until just above the ground when I yelled "it's gonna be rough" and he decided he better stop filming and hang on. As for what happened to the airplane, a friend who is also an excellent bush pilot and an A&P flew in a borrowed engine (in his Cessna 206U), landing next to my airplane. Before leaving on the chopper I had walked off 900' usable feet of gravel bar. Using a spruce-legged tripod made from local trees, he swapped out engines right there on the gravel bar. Only took him four hours! We flew my airplane to the A & P's hangar where he put together a "new" engine for me. I sold the airplane in 1992. It's still in Alaska.

That was nice landing, without damage to aircraft. I wish I was in that aircraft when that was done. Great Pilot.

Wow! Too bad you didn't film the landing. But I am sure you did amazing. Must be a horrible situation to be in, especially with your kids.

Great job, good story - you should also submit this to all the training agencies, see if they could ever us it in a doc/film about engine out situations.

@baxterrj Good idea. I know there is one aviation safety school in B.C. Canada that is using the video.
