Great work, and extremely lucky to have all that help close by.
And I can't help but feel a bit of pride.



I pulled a guy out of the ditch two days ago with my 20 year old Chevy!

I'm sure any one of us in here would've done the same thing.

Yep, that was the same plane and pilot. Very thorough guy and took every precaution during pre-flight explaining things to us in case something happened.

I'm a little disturbed though that the parents took their child on that... it's only able to seat 3.

Glad everyone was ok.

I would think that plane should be able to fly on one engine? Pilots?

I'm thinking it can fly on one engine unless it is overloaded, with 3 people???
