Final Approach
Wonder if it was carb ice. That prop doesn't look like it was turning.

Touchdown! Greaser!
Did it land gear up or is the grass deep enough to hide the gear.??
The gear went up after the landing.

Looks like the windscreen caught the third wire. Good trap!

You passed the vision test.!!
I saw the broken wind screen but I missed the wire. Good catch.!! (I gotta get a larger monitor...)

Agreed! Some damage but I'm not sure that this rises to the level of "crash" as reported. Appears that the pilot did a really good job of getting it down in one piece ...

The wording is funny, like he landed separately
Quote: The pilot, who was the only occupant in the aircraft, landed in a field near the highway.

Landed near the girl wearing nothing but a smile
And a towel in the picture on the billboard
In the field near the big ole highway...
Anyone old enough to remember that one.??

Cleared for Takeoff
It appears to me that this is the second time Cessna N79203 made an emergency landing around here.
Last one was on a soccer field near Lompoc (LPC) in August of 2021.
