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.

Love the pilot's demeanor in the interview.
