Just heard on the radio that all the people who called 911 to report a plane crash should not abuse the emergency response system.
The plane landed safely next to a toll booth on hwy 130 by the Elroy Rd exit (SE of Austin).
That is about 1 nm south of rwy 17L at Begstrom (KAUS).

Glad that I got to hear GOOD news for a change!
Will be watching the news tonight for sure to see whether it was a "low-wing Cessna" or possibly a "Cessna Comanche". :D And of course I will put my tin foil on and wait for the chemtrail specialists and their opinions on how dangerous aviation is. :rolleyes:
 
Glad for a good report,for a change.looks like very minor damage to the aircraft,good job by the pilot.
 
Ah, slow monkeys at the Statesman already managed to show off their inability to comprehend basic English. Sweet. :)

AFAIR, if you lose power to an aircraft engine, in most cases it continues to produce power and keeps the airplane flying. :D
Also, how will they be cleaning up the fuel spill in the pasture? Will they scrape the top soil, haul it off and replace it with fresh soil? I didn't know that's what firefighters here in Austin do. :D
Gotta love reporters. Do not EVER let the facts stand in the way of an important news story. Hey, at least they didn't call it a "low-wing Cessna"!! :lol:

Glad the pilot sat her down safely, he is lucky to be alive ... because he's a lawyer ... while the Bonanza is a "doctor killer". :goofy:
 
Glad they're o.k.

Good piloting is never recognized.
 
From the video, "It was almost like landing at the airport."

SMH.
 
You, gentlemen, sound like you are mocking the self-proclaimed journalists because you were expecting insight, intellect and good penmanship.
Don't be sour, these people can't help it, it is just a job to them to pay the bills. The janitorial position was already taken so they took this one, with a nice window office. :)
 
My home base... Glad to know they are all well.
