I drove past the plane on the side of I-10 this morning and said, “damn he must’ve had to make an emergency landing on the interstate”, that’s wild

He's lucky there weren't more cars on the road. There's usually a lot of traffic on that stretch.

If it was at night and his ultimate destination was Disneyworld, I’m betting he hit a deer……

Was driving West on I-20 a couple of years ago when a small plane laded on the Eastbound lanes. He had enough time to call someone because the cops had Eastbound traffic stopped over the next hill.

Flying one of those over I-10 from Pensacola to Jax would sure make that boring arse trip much shorter .

ETA: that was cool to watch. Great flying. Props to the pilot.

Can’t park there lady!

At least some interstates are designed with many straight runs, and the old wives tale is that the straight runs of interstate are destined to be used as runways in case of a nuclear attack and an airport runway is unavailable due to damage or fallout.

There is some audio out there where she declared an emergency and was explaining to ATC what was happening. Strong oil smell, smoke in the cockpit and then the engine failed. If you pay attention in the video, the prop isn’t turning. She didn’t risk trying to pull up and go over the sign, which in my opinion was the correct decision. That young lady was cool as a cucumber on the radio, told them she couldn’t make it back and was lined up with I10. Hoover nor Steeeve could have handled that situation better. I’d fly with her anytime.
