fricker could have had the common decency to crash land on the loop, so at least the through traffic would not be as affected.

Driving on the wrong side of the road, so it's probably India or Malaysia.

It's sort of funny to be laughing at the "third worldness" of that pic, when they have what looks to be at least 8 lanes of roadway going in one direction and it takes our state about 10 years to go from 2 to 3 for about 4 miles.

Wheel is on the right hand side.

But yes, that is an accurate statement about our neighbors south of here.

Baton Rouge is the Bermuda triangle of trying to get somewhere on time

pretty typical, and a lot of filtering by motorcycles(I think it helps traffic flow,) and what's odd is you don't see a lot of idiots weaving in and out of traffic trying to gain advantage if there's as much as a car length space in the next lane, people seem to more or less "go with the flow," have never seen any road rage down there either

It belongs to RITTER JAMES D apparently.

Last flight on the site was between BR and the lil airport in Gonzales by Pelican Point.

His name is attached to the tail number. Looks like he was trying to make KREG and just missed it by a couple of miles.

That's a good landing for an emergency

as if traffic wasnt already bad enough on I-10


I see this more as a guy that needed to make a emergency landing, but BR traffic was so bad he couldn't land on the road, and was forced to land in the weeds.

Word is, it got new paint and a new engine a couple years ago. Keeps it parked at Louisiana Regional outside on the ramp. This may be his second off airport landing. Either way, doesn’t look like he damaged it.
