It doesn’t get any better than this.  Brought tears to my eyes.

Have a good night, all.

See you tomorrow.

God bless everybody.

  1. Holy smokes! That is unfathomable; how could someone not instrument rated be so stupid as to take off into a 1,000’ ceiling? I sincerely hope that pilot lost his certificate, permanently. He came very close to committing suicide and taking everyone onboard with him.

    The fellow speaking did all the right things, and yes, I can see much broader implications to this example. Either way, my hackles are up, just hearing about this. To call the pilot’s actions stupid is to insult stupidity.

    2. Likewise, but one way it moved me would be to call for an investigation of the pilot. Every pilot has had unexpected events happen to them, but taking off into a 1,000’ ceiling without an instrument flight plan and being both instrument rated and in currency makes me think that this pilot should have their ticket permanently revoked.

      The rest is close enough to being a miracle as I could imagine. An untrained person successfully landing a plane is a long shot. It’s been known to happen, but I wouldn’t bet on it.
