Sitting at home waiting for the race to start on TV and I hear a strange dispatch by the county Sheriff's Dept. I call the staff photographer and tell him, he says "your closer, you can go", so I jump in the Jeep and head off towards I70. As I follow a State Trooper through a mile long backup and round a corner there it is..... an airplane parked on the interstate! Needless to say this will be the front page story in Monday mornings paper. The pilot, who was alone said the planes engine just shut off at 7000 feet and the only place he could see to land was on I70. There were many surprised motorists going Eastbound as the plane touched down but no one wrecked. It was a perfect landing, and he was nice enough to stop by the No Parking sign too :thumbsup: After a mechanic checked the plane out it was cleared to fly and the pilots business partner came and flew the plane off the interstate back to an airport. It was deffinately not something you see every day!
