Pilot crash lands on a motorway. To be honest something that happens a couple of times a year, so not that spectacular, but a couple of the comments are worthy of remark.

"Eyewitness Nick Probert said: "He just unsheathed himself and ran down the road to stop the traffic from running over any bits of fuselage or the plane."

Now I have never ever heard of getting out of anything, let a loan an aircraft as unsheathing one's self. Maybe Charlie can comment. Unsheathing, well that is normally something to do with a Saturday night in my house Grin

And

Wayne Moore(ron), of the Tasmania police, would, ideally, have preferred the young pilot to come down at a different location.
"I would have hoped that he would have found somewhere else to land. Maybe the hockey oval further down here," he said.

Muppet!!

He landed on the highway fine, then he hit the tree  Grin Only at about 30 Km/h (15 Knots approx.) so he was fine, I got diverted from the highway only 2 days ago  Grin He is also said to be recently accepted into the air force  Grin

BTW: IT WAS NOT BUSY  Grin The road is never really busy, and it was Sunday morning  Tongue

Is Circumcision a requirement for joining the Air Force?

The very thought makes your eyes water!   Shocked

Believe me it does get busy here... at times Grin However peak hour traffic only lasts for about an hour down here (on week days), and after that, well it's usually pretty quiet!
