Glad he survived and I hope he fully recovers from his injuries..

Hopefully no one on the ground had to take any extraordinary measures to avoid being hit. It just goes to show, it could be a light aircraft or it could be air force one but when it comes to planes you never really know what lies beneath.

Well at least crashing into a golf course you know there are going to be plenty of doctors around.

He's got two planes and now he's got a hole in one.

This is God's way of warning him not to do the Blade Runner sequel.

Joking aside, it looks like he had a lucky escape and did well to get it down in almost one piece. As ever, the news report linked above gets its terminology wrong. The aircraft did not "stall" it seems. It had an engine failure and lost power which forced Ford to try to make an emergency landing on the nearby golf course.

An aeroplane stall is an aerodynamic event when it flies so slowly that the wings stop providing lift.

The aircraft involved is a World War 2 vintage Ryan PT-22, which was used by the US military at the time as a basic training aircraft.

Am i the only one that was expecting the "after" photos to show escape via life boat?

[MonkeyHanger]

NTSB have already found the cause...

The mayday transcript

Ford: "53178 Engine failure, immediate return"
ATC: "Ryan 178 Run A 21, clear to land"
Ford: "I have to go to 3"
ATC "Ryan 178 running 3, clear to land"

CRASH

Ford: "Boring conversation anyway"

Ouch, looks like he hit the Dekker hard.
