Glenn Highway landing in BC-12D
For all you guys who couldn't read the article;
That was my buddy Rick Ruess, who was giving instruction to the owner and had an engine failure taking off from MRI runway 6. He took over and landed on the northbound lanes of the Glenn, managing to miss all the power lines, lights and of course, those pesky cars and trucks!
Rick flies everything from T-craft to who knows? His real job is flying a C-550, (and others), for a local air taxi. His mother, Heidi gave me my check ride for my Private certificate, and also teaches float and other ratings at their place on Lake Hood. His father also flies for the same air taxi he does. Rick gave me a bunch of very good instruction and also teaches Instruments. Real good folks, each and every one.
Oh, they did this in the dark, BTW.
