Actually a very cool video, among the best I've seen for this kinda stuff. With audio!

wow.... I would love to know what the problem was. Fancy Flyin he did there. Great post!
The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".
Wow, someone was looking out for them! What type of plane was that?

Wow,
Looks like he possibly had a-couple burst of fumes of fuel, just enough to make a safe landing, glad there both OK.
Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.
I think I read it's a SkyRanger homebuilt.
Looks to me like the engine quit.Originally Posted by Derf

Yes, it was a homebuilt SkyRanger. They were heading to Sun 'n Fun in Lakeland, FL on Sunday morning:

Interesting while viewing the video and then later reading the above article I began to wonder if this was a staged stunt. Then I read the comments on the article and someone was thinking the same thing. Very convienent to have TWO cameras rolling by a professional
videographer with a website.
Just the cynic in me wondering.
i think it was funny how after landing they rolled to a stop in a gas station. will that homebuilt run on 87-octane mo-gas? anyway, staged or not that why we pilots exist, to get the thing on the ground when stuff goes wrong. i'll keep my judgement of good-pilot/ bad-pilot until i watch 'em auto-rotate down to the ground.

it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
