My second oldest son Brian was standing on the tarmac at the
Ogden airport today, when he saw a low flying single engine plane preparing to
land with its wheels down. He knew he wouldn’t have time to warn the pilot over
the radio so he jumped into his pickup truck and drove toward where the plane
would be when it stopped, all the while taking pictures with his telephone.
When he arrived at the plane the pilot said,
“What should I do?”
Brian said, “Are you hurt?”
The pilot said,
“No.” Brian then said,
“Did you shut
off the gas?”
“No.”
“Shut off the
gas and get out of the plane.”
Brian then called the Federal Aviation. The plane remained
on the run way for 4 hours while an investigation to place. Finally the plane was removed from the
run way and the sky diving continued until dark.
Brian‘s final
remark. "I wish I would have thought to call Chanel 4 and the Ogden Standard
Examiner for their 10 PM news high light report."
The pilots name
is eighty year old Aaron Farr of Farr’s Jewelry here in Ogden. Utah.
