Perhaps posted before, but worth the risk.

Having been down that road myself, you did a great job. Kept your head and didn't turn back. Well done Sir.

Poo would have been coming out! At least while above those trees! Good jorb!

Something tells me Kingairer was not flying the aircraft in the video...

Every time I watch this video, my heart races, palms get sweaty, etc. Amazing how quickly his breathing escalated. That right there is a serious "holy poop" moment. This guy pretty much could not have handled that any better. Didn't turn around, held it up there to assess the situation, quickly made the firm decision to put it down, and got it down in one piece with what appears to be very, very minimal damage. Can't ask for anything more than that.

Wonder what went Tango Uniform with the power plant.

Carb ice?

That would be correct, I treat flying a single engine airplane as already have less then half the engines needed for flight, so I don't do it.

It is already one more than needed for flight
