Emergency landing

"Any port in a storm". Interstate highways make good emergency runways for GA. . . as long as traffic is paying attention through their sunroofs !!

:running:
 
That airplane does- or did belong to the Delaware State Police. Initially it was used for running the governor around, but I think it was religated to prisoner transport. I think I've got pics from back in the day of her.
 
A number of years ago I saw an advertisement from the 1950's about the safeness of the Aerocommander. They removed a prop from an engine, put it in the baggage compartment, then started up the engine that still had a prop, and then took off. Kinda crazy.
 
Ya know, I think I have made that exact same "emergency landing/crash" in Milton Shupe and Team's AeroCommander. Well, I know I have crashed it a lot...so the odds are good that it was on that particular highway or one very close to it.
