Plane Lands On I-81

POSTED: 9:20 am EDT April 3, 2008

Plenty of vehicles run out of gas on Interstate 81, but not many
airplanes.

Virginia State Police said a student pilot on his first solo flight was
heading back to Virginia Highlands Airport from Knoxville, Tenn., Wednesday
afternoon when the plane ran out of fuel.

The pilot, Matthew Edward Scott, 27, of Blountville, Tenn., made an
emergency landing on I-81 within sight of the airport in Abingdon.

Sgt. Danny Glick commended the pilot for landing with the traffic flow so
no vehicles were hit during the landing. He said Scott was not injured and
will not face charges.

Airport staff brought fuel to the disabled Cessna and troopers briefly shut
down southbound I-81 while the plane taxied to the airport.

So, what did you want the pilot to do? crash his cessna into a school?
BTW, why didn't you cross post your drivel to an aviation group? You
afraid of pilots?

**** you, american (sic).

He oughta be charged with a crime and do a couple years in the can and
never be allowed to fly again. Stop being a criminal coddler, you
hatefilled loonball.

Illegal parking?

That's what I suggested someone be charged with when they drove into
my house
with a pickup. Fortunately, DUI seemed to work better in that case.

Operating an aircraft in an unsafe manner?
Operating an unregistered vehicle on a highway?
Not having a 5 MPH bumper on a passenger vehicle?

Seriously, the person who landed the plane is not at fault. While
he should have been aware of the fuel situation, it was the instructor
that sent a student pilot out on a first solo without making sure
that the aircraft was ready for that flight that is the real fault
here. I think the FAA should take a look at this flight instructor.

It's almost assured that the FAA will be taking some kind of action in
this case. The rules are pretty strict about sanctions when you screw
up.

Run out of fuel on a long bridge or in a tunnel. In addition to a stiff
towing fee, you will get a fine. But I suppose if an incompetent pilot
crushes a few cars and kills a few babies, that's alright with you?

Oh, give me a ****ing break!

The plane in question, a cessna 150 (ref: http://tinyurl.com/2aucho)
has an empty weight about 1/3 of that of a garden vareity car (appx.
968#) and a max take off weight of 1500# (about 1/2 the weight of a
car). Ref: http://www.airliners.net/aircraft-da...ts.main?id=138
It ain't going to be crushing any cars anytime soon.

>and kills a few babies, that's alright with you?

SO, what would you have rather that the pilot do? Crash into a school?
Somebody's house?
