80 Year old Woman Lands Plane After Husband Dies
I can't imagine how terrible, terrifying, and stressful that must have been. (www.twincities.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
What a strong lady in a extremely difficult situation. Hats off to the pilot who came along side of her in the air to help her get down with just the 1 engine. Prayers to her and her family over loss of her husband.
Wow, this is simply incredible in a horrible way. Even if she was used to flying with her husband, to be able to take over the controls while something was wrong with him and to then have to deal with an engine going out? And still she lands the plane successfully? Simply amazing and many props to her and the other pilot who helped. He certainly married a quality wife and I'm sure he would be very proud of her.
my thoughts are with her for her loss.
Wow, what a gal!
You know she was driven to get down safely in hopes of obtaining medical attention for her husband. He would be very proud of her.

I tend to believe that he is proud of her and may have even been with here if she had no flight experience....Landing a twin with an engine out and depending on which engine she lost determined how much usable power whe actually had....This is just amazing; a miracle even.
Brave and courageous lady.
A great success story for the record books. The "Beechcraft Pilot Proficiency Program" offers a pilot companion program with ground school and flight instruction on doing just this sort of thing. This story is an indication that this sort of thing does happen and can have a happy ending.
