BATAVIA, Ohio - Paul Redlich survived a pilot's worst fear Thursday. He was piloting a 1943 Curtis P-40 when he heard a loud boom, the plane started to shake, and smoke started coming from the engine.

To us "Pilot makes emergency landing in heavy smoke and lives"

To the media "Plane overshoots runway".

Glad it will fly again. Breaks your heart to see. But glad no one was hurt.

Not bad! I don't imagine a P40 makes a very good glider!!
