brett 2,316 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Glad there were no fatalities. It's not often a tree actually saves the occupant, the pilot could have been worse off crashing elsewhere. Still, it looked like I was watching a WWE match the way that tree smacked that poor plane down. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Tim_A 997 Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 We don't know what was just out of shot, so the tree might have been the best option. Still, any landing you can walk (or hobble) away from . . . 1 Link to post Share on other sites
wain 879 Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 on the news they said the pilot was in his 70's and on his way to have breakfast....was getting some eggs? (nests)?????? sounded funny at first.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 First time I watched this I expected the tree to spring back launching the aircraft back into the air, albeit temporarily. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
