Dumbasses. It's a miracle that plane didn't flip over or worse.
Looks like he didn't even have a prop strike. Very very lucky.


Awesome landing:

I was once given a landing on a runway about that wide, with a dogleg
in it during my primary training. No trees though. This one, however,
I'm not sure I'd want to try even today.

I made the straightest landing of my career in a Piper Arrow at a seaplane base
down in New Orleans called Westwego. It had a relatively short, very narrow
runway alongside the waterway. How narrow was it? You know how when you flare,
the runway spreads out on either side of you?

This one didn't. The airport is closed now... you have to wonder why.

Actually Mortimer, this airstrip (Southern Seaplanes) is still there,
and operational. The runway is 40ft wide, and in rather bad condition
(bumpy).

Fun place to fly into though, I was there in Novermber.

This video has come up bevore and as I recall, there was no intent to land on
the car - Contrary to what the "commentator" claimed...

What I don't recall is what they were really trying to do before the contact
between the airplane and the car.

Ah, OK, maybe it was just supposed to be a buzz job or an attempt to pass
something from one vehicle to the other...
