Not a half mile from where I rent storage space, a small plane crashed and landed upside down this past Sunday. The pilot was uninjured and climbed out on his own!

He was approaching a small local airport, no word yet on what went wrong. If he had gone down further to his right, he would have landed in a clearing. Further left, in/on somebody's house!

I had been at my storage space the day before it happened and went by today just to see if I could tell where the plane went down not expecting it to still be there! All the police tape was gone, no one was out there, but I didn't venture in. I took this pic from the road.

I'm curious as to how they're going to get it out

(If someone had died, I wouldn't be posting this).

Crazy!

A surprising number of people walk away from those small plane incidents.

The guy who had the TV show River Monsters crashed in a plane with the film crew in the Amazon and everyone walked away. https://youtu.be/I3IcKxRO7no?si=b8ybtJ_BKU24WGUO

Then there was this one here a few years ago. The pilot started JT Racing, which is a super popular brand of dirt bike riding gear going way back.
