Everything is Bigger in Texas-Cessna 172 Jet Forced Landing

Post by Pavese »

Apparently a CAP pilot had a forced landing in a C-172 in Houston. I guess they have somewhat fancier 172s down there :lol:

A 22-year-old pilot who hit a power line, knocked over a street sign and had to dodge a car while landing her stricken plane on the street of a Houston suburb is getting compliments for her steely performance.

Sarah Chantal Rovner was piloting a Civil Air Patrol-owned Cessna 172 jet from West Houston Airport to Lone Star Executive Airport in nearby Conroe, Texas, on Tuesday when she reported losing aircraft power.

Newspaper (or whoever) puts the word "jet" after a Cessna 172, so what? BFD!
