Emergency Landing
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT58Di51wDk
Towards the end I said, "Holy @#$!" right before the copilot did:

Nice job! Looked like some sort of fueling issue - it would come back after a short time and quit again.

lol, nothing to see here just pulling up for a coffee
Its a good thing there weren't any cars on that road at the time. If I saw that in my rear view mirror I would know instantly to speed up and lean on the horn to warn anyone in front of me (Average landing speeds for small planes like that are what 75-120 mph?)

Yeah, I might have the same reaction. That would be interesting to see in the mirror.

For that plane probably 45-55. It should have been slower but it looks like either it doesn't have flaps or they forgot to deploy them.

Great job !!
And then to coast/taxi it off into the parking lot. That’s classic. He could not have done a better job. Nor been much luckier. Wide street. No traffic. And very important… No telephone/power lines that quite often blanket a city street like that. And to have a video of it... Priceless. Hats off to that dude.

Oh, yeah, the power lines! Holy $hit!
I thought he was going to try for the two lane street earlier. That looked like it would get dicey. As it was it was still a little dicey. Do pilots practice dead stick landings?

A perfect example of why I don't like flying, sometimes you come down fast.
Nice landing though!
