Pilot Calmly Lands Plane After Propeller Falls Off

Pilot Calmly Lands Plane After Propeller Falls Off

Video: Forget Captain Sully — if you’re ever unfortunate enough to have something go wrong with your plane mid-flight, you might want Mark Penell in the cockpit instead.

When the propeller fell off his Rans S-10 kit plane — apparently propellers can do that — Penell did not freak out. Instead, the pilot calmly brought the craft in for a near-perfect landing. Makes you wonder what it’s like to have ice water running through your veins.
