I'd have given money to be on that highway with a camera when that happened!
Glad to hear plane and pilot are safe.

A T-6G Texan made an emergency landing just short of the Fond Du Lac,
WI airport. The aircraft landed on highway US 41 on the northbound
lane. Local law enforcement were able to stop traffic moments before
the aircraft made its forced landing. The aircraft struck a sign post
damaging the right wing, the two occupants were unhurt. The aircraft
was towed onto the FDL airport grounds. Traffic was tied up for
several hours. The aircraft was enroute to EAA from an air show in
Peoria IL. Apparently the engine may have lost oil pressure and the
engine had complete power failure. The pilot was attempting to glide
to the FDL runway. All is good, everyone safe including the aircraft.- Hide quoted text -

Not footage of the touchdown itself, but a not-completely-awful news
piece on it.

If it's true that any landing you can walk away from is a good landing
- that was an AWSOME landing.
