this is WAY too cool!! some people were flying their model P-51 mustang which they accidentally crashed into the tree tops. A helicopter training flight (Robinson R-22) saw it happen and retrieved the P-51 for the folks....way cool!

warning: language, otherwise sfw.

That was wonderful!

... a fun video !

See what can happen when you turn disaster-planning over to private enterprise.

Their friends will never believe them.

I swear, these two guys in a helicopter rescued my model from a tree top.

Yeah right, have another beer... you sure it wasn't Superman?

Monmouth service area on the Garden State Parkway here in New Jersey yesterday afternoon. That is the line for fuel.

Yeah we made it...but my town (Tuckerton) is ravaged. Along with every other coastal town. Sandy was one evil witch!

Here is a view from Sunday night high tide in Tuckerton

Here is link to the story.

who was at fault? both actually. the driver of the SUV for not stopping and looking both ways and the pilot for coming in too low. it's arguable about his low approach. i fly a low approach quite often. but never when there is a road on the approach end of the runway. i'll make sure i have at least a 50' clearance if so and land a tad long.

BigV · 11-05-2012, 06:26 PM

I'm not a lawyer. But that looks like 100% pilot error from here. Maaaaybe there's a traffic signal on the road saying, planes have the right of way, but I've never seen one. The car's on the road, where cars belong. The plane's in the air, but where cars go. If the car had been on the runway, different story. Doesn't look like that from here though. I like the dialog "you pulled out in front of a plane!" wtf? A plane? I remember being trained to look for the kid chasing the ball from between parked cars but not being attacked from the sky.

It looks like everybody's probably ok, I sure hope so.

plthijinx · 11-05-2012, 06:40 PM

Yeah everyone was ok for the most part. Driver of the SUV got a couple staples in his head.

I can see your point of view on this but anytime a road passes in front of a runway threshhold the plane has the right of way. Driver, in this case, is an avid visitor of the airport there and should have known to look both ways before crossing the approach path. Meh, i still say they were both at fault.

I will pull out the FAR's and have a look...(faa regs)
