Cessna Highway take off... OOPS!

Hi,

This is unbelievable....

nothing beats a pair of good eyes and some sound judgement...

There's no law against taking an airplane off from a road (just like there's no law against running out of fuel and having to land on the road in the first place) but sometimes it's just not a good idea. Many of the townsfolk of Baker, La., were watching last Wednesday when a pilot attempted to take off from a road in his Cessna 210. Pilot's plane ran out of fuel on approach to Metro Airport on Tuesday and he made a successful dead-stick landing on the road. A FAA spokesman said the agency suggested he get the plane trucked to the airport but it couldn't enforce that suggestion. He said there's no regulation against it and it's up to local authorities to give permission.

See the end of the movie in slow motion, clearly visible he hits the mirror of a van and a few meters later he cuts off a part of his wing to a firetruck.... Bizar!!
