Cessna 172 Lands on Interstate 4
Seen on the news today of a c172 that landed on the Interstate 4 between Lakeland and Orlando. It had landed at Lakeland with a problem engine which was supposedly fixed. Here are two links to news threads.

They now have to decide whether to take the wings off or fix it there and fly it out!!!!!!!

If he was flying a political candidate, the pilot could have been paid!!!!

Extra for the interesting landing I imagine....

Well, it was Friday the 13th. I'm wondering if that was a politcal stunt. Anyway, he landed safely. So thats the best outcome.
