VIDEO: Engine failure in bad weather over mountains: Amazing success story!

These videos gave me both lump in my chest as well as deep sigh when the pilot successfully descended through a cloud deck in mountainous terrain to a safe landing over 60 nm away from his first engine out.

It's a great example on all fronts: from the controller's professionalism, to the pilot's knowledge of his aircraft and resources available, to staying calm and flying the plane.

He even has a sense of humor in the middle of it.  Amazing! 

Not sure when this happened, but the photo of his plane at the end looks like Oshkosh.  If I see him on the flight line next year, I'm shaking his hand.
