This pilot is good!

And I have a new quote from this guy!

"Watch the wing watch the wing!"

Pilot:"Fuck the wing"

I heard some people have questioned whether it was a true emergency or self-imposed emergency. I'm not a pilot but I play one on occasion in the virtual world. I would have thought he would have gone for the water (there was plenty around) if he couldn't find an open field quickly. The street was certainly an option, but the risk of hurting someone was greater than had he chosen the water. Just my opinion. Anyone else? Codguy?

I don't know it seems that engine started and stopped as they flipped the switch.

And heck its a homebuilt probably uninsured for loss just liability is why they didn't total it in the water.

And is just me or did it seem like they knew rite where to turn right into the parking lot.

I call Stunt

ya i think stunt also. i see having one camera in a plane to document your flying or what ever but two cameras, and one being on the wing? and i love how there was no traffic on the road where he landed, but yet there was plenty on the other side
