southwestforests Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) Glad pilot is okay. 🙂 Watched the video in that article then Googled for more news and looked at a couple different local TV postings on YouTube. At least one had a witness commenting that it was a dead-stick landing. One station whose name will be withheld to protect the guilty had what I'm going to call painfully amateurish anchor and reporter, good grief. And since YouTube allows comments ... There were some by people who clearly have some knowledge of aviation. There were some by people who clearly think they have some knowledge of aviation. And then there were some by people who ... yeah ... ya know, that's a good question, who are those people and what planet are they from.

martin_sam_2000 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Interestingly, it was painted as the lead aircraft of the infamous flight 19 that had gone missing in the bermuda triangle back in ‘45. Would make a neat opening scene for a movie about time travel or something. Write the whole Movie just around using that footage!! sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
