Incidentally, someone landed their Cirrus on a suburban street here on
Sunday morning. They reportedly deliberately used the poles on either
side of a pedestrian crossing to slow down. I believe my instructors
mentioned tree trunks in this context, but whatever...

I love tvnz's careful description:
"The plane landed beside St Patrick's School on
Tongariro Street, at the bus stop, near a give way sign."

He appears to have knocked over the No Parking sign. That won't stop
him getting booked, though. It's clearly not parked legally!
