Local Memphis TV station (I was just waking up, not awake enough to tell which one) says FedEx C-208 Caravan landed on a north Mississippi Highway near Tunica (I think they said 51 or 61?) at about 3AM (about 3 hours ago) after reporting loss of power and then engine failure.
Report continued that the pilot landed the airplane safely on the 4-lane highway and immediately got out and away from the airplane before an 18-wheeler clipped a wing. Nobody injured. No pictures on the TV story - - too dark here - - just “file footage” of what a Caravan looks like.
I can't find anything on the web, even on the local TV station websites... anybody else hear anything?
I can think of less-conspicuous ways of getting to the casinos.
