ExiledInIllinois Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Few weeks back, one just landed on LSD (LakeShore Drive) in Chicago... July 27th: https://abc7chicago.com/small-plane-lands-on-lake-shore-drive/3834885/ I suppose it happens from time to time:
Fadingpain Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 Yep, this is not entirely unusual. Seems to work pretty well in most cases, too.

It's actually why Eisenhower pushed for the Interstate System. Then again, highways were always his niche, going back to the cross-country thing he did with US-30. But really, all part of the plan for Interstates to double as runways.
Marv's Neighbor Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 Yes, if you have a problem, they look inviting but wires are always a problem. You can't see them till you're too low and slow to avoid them.
Lurker Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 Why were those people shooting video of the highway prior to the plane landing perfectly in front of them? Seems fishy to me...

Every 1 mile out of 4 on the interstate was dictated to be straight, no curves. 1

Soda Popinski Posted August 15, 2018 Posted August 15, 2018 Did a motorcycle run up and smash his rear view mirror?
Wacka Posted August 15, 2018 Posted August 15, 2018 That pilot was lucky it wasn't rush hour. I have driven that stretch many times and it can be packed with cars, bumper to bumper going 60.
Cripple Creek Posted August 15, 2018 Posted August 15, 2018 Plane lands on a highway, bartender asks “what’ll you have pilot?” Pilot says “just give me one for the road.”
