The pilot was giving a lesson when the plane developed engine trouble. I don’t think the student counted on this kind of advanced lesson today.

After he changed his shorts this student will become an even better pilot or he will walk away from this landing and never fly again.
That’s just plane amazing.

Yeah….Yeah….

Greasy. Stall speed in that aircraft is faster than freeway speeds. Pilot dropped that plane in there like a mama puttin’ a baby in a cradle.
Just gonna’ go out on a limb and assume that wasn’t Harrison Ford.
Make sure you pace or pass the plane making an emergency landing on a highway. It makes the pilot’s job easier and less stressful if he has moving vehicles right around the aircraft. /S
Just shows that when 3 Reporterettes get together they are better off talking about dolls or sewing than life’s manly activities.

Just grumbling here but what were his options other than a busy freeway?
I was always taught to look for fields or large flat top buildings. Maybe better than endangering motorists but I guess the “save your own ass” has priority.
There’s been a large number of pilots putting down on busy roads lately.
Several years ago I toyed around with getting my pilot’s license.
The instructions in one manual about how to make an emergency landing at night stood out.
The instructions went something like this: Make sure all lose gear is safely stowed, turn off fuel valves, tighten lap & shoulder belts. Take a couple of deep breaths. Then turn on the landing lights. If you don’t like what you see – turn the lights back off.
A bit of dark humor, but flying is a serious activity. No coasting to the side of the road and calling A^3.
the end of that clip reassured me that women should be running the earth…no fucking doubt about it
Such events are apparently quite frequent. Enjoy.

Cars dont even bother to stop. Idiots. “Honey, pass that plane, he’s driving too slow in the fast lane.” This is why i absolutely hated being dispatched to EMS incidents occuring on the freeways.
