WWII Vintage Plane Lands On Highway

Warbird plane headed for EAA airshow lands on busy HWY 41 in Fond du Lac, WI. The pilot, 59-year-old William Leff of Dayton, Ohio, reported engine trouble but the only landing spot available was the highway. Except for clipping some roadside signs, nothing else was damaged. No one was hurt.

^^ cause when you witness something, you cant just simply bail out and leave.... i think thats why the cops pulled him/her over ..... just a guess. and kudos for the pilot 5/5

i always dreamed of landing an airplane on someplace where everyone can watch and envy me, too bad it will never happen.

That kinda reminded me of a sketch about a WW1 soldier that was never notified that the war ended, so he kept patrolling his 2 meter trench untill finally after 40 or so years they told him the war had passed.

think it was a 9-51, one of my fave WWII planes

mezelf, did he not notice WWII?

perhaps your thinking of three Japanese who faced a similar situation, 2 figured it out and left, and the other refused to leave until he was given orders to do so.
