Computer salesman William Hart, 57, was coming in to land at San Jose Airport last night when his engine quit due to a fuelrelease problem called engine vapor lock. Alone in his sixseat Beechcraft Bonanza airplane, Hart warned the airport of his distress by radio, then glided his plane to land on a northbound ramp on Highway 87, where he spotted a gap in traffic. “It's just one of those wonderful things where everything just went right,” said Captain Mark Mooney, a spokesman for the San Jose Fire Department. The California Highway Patrol shut down the highway while the plane was towed to the nearby airport. Siter Lenke til kommentar Del på andre sider More sharing options...
