Pilot crash lands on a motorway. To be honest something that happens a couple of times a year, so not that spectacular, but a couple of the comments are worthy of remark.
"Eyewitness Nick Probert said: "He just
unsheathed himself and ran down the road to stop the traffic from running over any bits of fuselage or the plane."
Now I have never ever heard of getting out of anything, let a loan an aircraft as unsheathing one's self. Maybe Charlie can comment. Unsheathing, well that is normally something to do with a Saturday night in my house

Wayne Moore
(ron), of the Tasmania police, would, ideally, have preferred the young pilot to come down at a different location.
"I would have hoped that he would have found somewhere else to land. Maybe the hockey oval further down here," he said.Muppet!!

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
