If tweet fails to load, click here. That's an impressive job of landing.
Police said two pilots were on board.
“One of them was actually what I consider a student pilot. He was flying with the other pilot so he could get his hours in to do solo flights,” said Gainesville Police Capt. Kevin Holbrook.
In air traffic control recordings, you can hear a pilot send out a warning.
“Mayday!” he repeated. “We’re not going to make it. Please, tell my wife, Molly, I love her and my parents. I love them so much.”
Then, he executed an emergency landing on Browns Bridge Road at Pearl Nix Parkway.
Holbrook said the plane took off from Gainesville Airport and was flying to Cherokee County. The National Transportation Safety Board said the aircraft is a Beechcraft Bonanza (BE-35).
NTSB said shortly after departure, the pilot experienced problems with the engine and elected to turn back towards Gainesville to land there.
The airplane didn’t have enough power to make it to the airport, so the pilot made a forced landing on the road.

Good job handling the landing. It could have turned out a lot worse.

That is very close to Wild Wing Cafe. Baw needed some wings. Some of the best you will ever eat.

Explain that to your auto insurance company.

Could've easily clipped that Rolex billboard or Gallery Furniture sign. Impressive.

The only thing to remember when you know a forced landing is imminent.

That is just a terrible strip of commercial bleah.

Blountville is real close to Bristol Motor Speedway. Wonder if there's a connection to a racing team?

My understanding is that it was a pilot and student pilot who was trying to get hours in. Left Gainesville bound for Blountville, had issues and tried to return to Gainesville.
Landed at/near the Browns Bridge/Pearl Nix Parkway intersection. 10s of thousands if not more than 100,000 cars through that area daily. The owner of the salon my wife goes to saw it happen and got caught in the traffic snafu afterwards.
