Wow, sounds like an amazing landing!
Ace pilot! Good job, a story for the grand kids!
only a mile or so from airport
wonder if was landing or taking off when problem happened
I was actually waiting on the same runway 15 as he announced he was inbound for touch and go. 3/4 down there runway he announced he had an in flight emergency and asked me to clear the runway. I did clear the run way but he was too far away after hemanaged to turn 180. When he was I the ground he said he was ok and asked me to call chp.
Thank you for the extra information.
There are times in your life when you do or die…good job Lee you made it…now get this piece of crap off our highway and take it to a shop…
Very lucky that he had a place to land. This could have been a tragety

Thanks for the description, so that we can tell which plane on 101 is the subject of the item! 🙂
I hope Kym gets big laughs when she reads some of these hilarious comments.
Cool, man. I’m a grouchy curmudgeon, too. Who knows, maybe someone would want to know plane color if a loved one was flying that day. Just sayin’.
If you don’t like the way I fly, “Then stay off the FREEWAY!”
😁🤣
Any Landing you walk away from is a good landing.
🙏 AMEN!
