A flight instructor and student pilot aboard a single engine plane set it safely down near the Morton Salt plant on the south shore of the Great Salt Lake, less than a mile away from Interstate 80.
The two were in the midst of a flying lesson when the throttle control linkage broke, leaving them unable to keep the engine running at a higher speed.
The pair looked at a number of potential landing sites and ultimately decided on a wide open patch of hard-packed desert.
They were able to land the plane safely, and both walked away from the site without a scratch.
The incident is under investigation"
The student took it quite well |
Is that you in the pic? All things considered I'd say it turned out just fine. Any kind of debrief to offer up to the masses here?
Congrats on getting it down safe.
BTW, nice job by the media there
