You have to give this pilot credit!

No Kidding, he even found a runway. Play the slide show and there is a photo of the pilot with a soot-covered face. Anyone know the guy? Please PM me if you have a way to contact him.

Buy that man a drink!!! Kudo's on that emergency landing. Guessing it was a fuel line break since it took over so quickly???

The article said the pilots name is Rich Anderson.... this dude deserves a beer!

I was so taken by this story and Rich Anderson that I sent an email to L.A.B. extending my kudos to him. Such presence of mind!

The article talked about where the fire started and then mentioned that the Reverend's laptop was stored there. Not sure if they are drawing any inference from that.

My hat is off to you, Rich Anderson.

Thanks God he was close to a runway, there are not many places to put an airplane down in that area. Either go into the trees or in the water.


Three cheers for Rich Anderson!
