Way to go, Sean from AOPA Pilot Blog: Reporting Points by Tom Haines
Congratulations to famed air show pilot Sean Tucker for displaying terrific aeronautical decision making–true airmanship.
As you may have heard, Tucker landed on Highway 101 in northern California after concern that he didn't have enough fuel to make it back to the airport. I can't imagine a more difficult decision than one where you take a still-functioning airplane and put it down off airport. "Hope" always wants to horn in and convince you that you can make it back to the airport. But, concerned that he had a fuel problem, Tucker quickly assessed the situation and with assistance from the aerobatic team and photo ship he was flying with, put the airplane down safely without a scratch onto the highway. After adding fuel and with permission of authorities, he took off again and flew the short distance back to the airport.
