The dude who lost his $800 RC airplane has a wonderful memory to cherish for a lifetime. Just imagine how quickly this guy went from being absolutely devastated over his pricey loss, to instead having a couple kind pilots swoop down, save the day, and literally hand him back his expensive RC airplane. It's wholesome moments like this that keep our faith alive for the state of humanity.
There are reports that this story could actually be nothing more than a work of fiction. Real or not, it's still quite the entertaining tale.
A small plane had to make an emergency landing on a Minnesota highway, hitting an SUV in the process. No injuries were reported. Luckily for everyone, the pilot of the small plane was Craig Gifford, an award-winning acrobatics pilot. He said he had to make the emergency landing after experiencing engine failure. All in all, not a bad person for the job.
Twitter's got some thoughts and feelings about the recent comment from Lukas Air Force Base, which says that the two F-35s did NOT mean to leave behind phallic contrails in a flight exercise on Tuesday. Basically, an "accidental sky penis" was too good to pass up on with the jokes and wordplay.
That was EXTREMELY close to a monumental fail. Can only imagine what kinds of words were being yelled in the pilot's seat at the time.
Supersonic ejection from a jet fighter can get pretty WILD. Listening to this guy talk about his experience navigating the speed of sound, is its own kind of exhilarating experience. Listen for yourself!
