“As the EMS workers approached the downed plane, the pilot asked in clear Quebec style French one question:
“Do you have any Grey Poupon?”

Sorry. Just blindly followed the headline like a good lemming.

Next you are going to tell me that Governor Gavin Nuisance is not going to save me?

The video captures the whole thing. The pilot landed between moving cars. Well done!

The Piper PA-28 Cherokee is a nice single engine plane..

But the ultra-fast Piper Aerostar twin is rather dangerous on landings..whew.

The plane in the recent movie “American Made” which was flown by Tom Cruz in the film, crashed with a member of the crew flying left-seat... it was an old 601 they passed off as the faster 700.

It’s a bit of an odd plane as the only cabin door is the pilots door...everyone piles in through there. Makes for a very sturdy fuselage though.

I wonder what stall speed is for that plane. The cars were not going very fast.

I believe it is about 85mph, maybe a tad lower.

The Aerostar does not have a stall warning buzzer since the wings shudder is incredible...the shaking is the stall buzzer...in the film Cruz almost stalls the plane and you can hear a buzzer but it must have been added in post.

Just pointed out the error in the Story. I’m sure nobody noticed. It’s like looking at a Democrat and not realizing you’re really looking at a Communist.

Gavin is going to save everyone, just like Quid Pro Joementia the groping Pedo will starting next January if he wins the Election.
