Plane Forced Landing Into Building Today?

Tue Oct 23, 2007 6:25 pm

I was at an FBO in Phoenix today and the TV was tuned to Fox News... I thought I saw a preview of an upcoming story about a plane that landed and careened into a store... the tail looked like dark Navy gloss with a WWII Navy insignia. Does anyone know about this at all? Was I just seeing things?

I don't know about a Navy plane but I did see on CNN at lunch what looked like an L-4 crashed into a parking lot. They mentioined the pilot was lucky to be alive. Seems I remember the crash being in CA.

Prayers are with the pilot.

Yep, that's it... the color on the TV must have been off. Good to hear everyone is ok.
