Plane mostly burned except for the tail section. No info on injuries or fatalities yet.
Interstates, IIRC, are designed so that every fifth mile is a straight line without any curves, so that a plane could land on the highway in an emergency—or if air bases/airports were all nuked in a future atomic holocaust.
Notice that the plane landed/crashed near the Exit 40 (Airport Road). He was right beside the Asheville airport ….could see it from there, but the word here is that his motor quit so he could not make the few feet more to the airport.
My hubby was wondering why it said one hour to travel 25 minutes. He took flying lessons so he will be interested in this. His flying lessons were at an airport near here. He landed and flew around the Aville airport several times.The pilot of this plane was likely so close to the Asheville airport he could walk to it.
