Wow...that's awesome. A very happy ending for what could have been such a tragedy.

The propellor just fell OFF???

Great job by the pilot bringing a totally crippled plane back safely.

Essentially an IFR, dead-stick landing? New seat cushions all around! Nicely done.

Another friend was going along to get to a doctor's appointment in Denver.

Hope is wasn't for high blood pressure or angina.

Basically a heavy glider, amazing! And without frontal visibility that was a feat. Curious what caused it as always. From what I read, it sounds like he was fantastic at getting it back on the ground, good on him.

No propeller, oil on the windshield and the engine wasn't working right? Poor plane came all apart in the air. Good job on landing it safely! Wow!

Chuck Norris could have landed it if the wings fell off.

Without the propeller, it doesn't really matter what the heck condition the engine was in.

It was absolutely amazing he even got the opportunity TO land, much less safely and without crashing. An incredible feat, that's for sure.

Its funny but the one thing that may have kept him going was not knowing the prop was gone even though he had no power and it was useless anyway. Its just a visual thing that easily could have sent him into a panic situation.

Gotta wonder what Mech put his paws on that prop last!

Poor plane came all apart in the air.

And it wasn't even an F-15.

Is there a problem with F-15's

They're grounded because they fall apart in the air. The defense of Alaska is now in the hands of the Canadians because the Air Farce can't do it.

It's not good for recruiting to have them crashing all over the place.
