Yesterday as I was driving I noticed an airplane flying overhead with a banner attached.. He made a couple of abnormal sharp u turns so I thought to myself, "I better get my phone ready in case this goes bad." Sure enough, he ended up having to perform an emergency landing on the median between two major highways.

So far it has gained attention from all of my local news outlets. I have done interviews for Fox 4, ABC 8, and CBS 11.

Pretty crazy, 35,000+ views in less than a day.

That's crazy! It looked like you were freaking close too! I'm glad it missed your truck.

The first article mentioned it as a single engine Cessna. It is actually a Piper PA-25 Pawnee. Airplane nerd coming out.

Great catch! Totally surprised no one is attacking you for recording while driving. Locally that would be proof positive our law was broken. "Ticket in the mail"... lol

That's a once in a lifetime event to record something like that! I'm just thankful everyone was OK! Good job man!:beer:
I am too! I would feel much different about posting about it had something terrible of happened. Thanks.

I was very close. I saw it dropping in altitude from about a mile out and when I rounded a turn there he was facing right at me.

did you turn your ads on in your youtube channel? lol

Maybe... lol
