He clipped the power lines and then it fell to the ground. The pilot was able to walk home which is amazing. Apparently, he lives by the goats and horses that we visit. They towed the plane to his yard. It was his first flight with the plane. We heard one report that he built the plane himself. He said he was just trying to get home, but couldn't get enough height. He really didn't make it very far. He must have flown over our backyard since the neighbor said he flew over her house.
Two news channels wanted Mama to go on camera, but she refused. She said she didn't see it happen and since the pilot survived, it was pretty much a non-story. One of the photographers thought I was a cool dog and he rubbed my ears. Mama almost told him the story of my life, but she decided against it. She can be pretty chatty at times.
It definitely made our last day without Daddy rather exciting. Oh and I almost forgot to tell you about the bee. A bee got in our house and I tried to catch it. Mama said "NO, JOEY, DON'T!" She killed it, but it took her quite a while.
Joey,
The Greyhound Who Had A Very Strange Day
Wow, that was really dramatic! It must have been quite a sight, seeing that plane in your road.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness the pilot was okay.
Good thing your mum got rid of that bee Joey, if that got in your mouth it would have been serious.

You really are having one exciting week aren't you mate?! Deccy x
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would fly a plane that I built myself :) Catching a bee can mean a trip to the vet. Don't do it Joey!
ReplyDeleteThere is too much excitement going on! I want things to be nice and calm so you guys can get on with your trip. No more running around the big yard or crashed planes, okay.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad nobody was hurt! I'm pretty sure we'd have gone out to see for ourselves that he was alright. Your daddy is going to be really surprised that you've had so much excitement while he was gone!

That is a really strange day to have. I'm glad no one was hurt.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a little scary! I'm glad everyone was okay. There's all kinds of excitement at your house.
ReplyDeleteWow, we had one crash on the highway by our house, stopped traffic up pretty well. Sure am glad it didn't hit your house or anything and that no one was badly hurt. What a scary thing.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, Bees, flies and then some. Be careful about that. I know it is fun to catch them but not a greyt outcome all the time. Your Mom is right to worry.
Veil got stung by a hornet a couple years ago, now anything that flies around scares her silly. Speaking of things flying around, that plane crash was too close for comfort. Glad you guys weren't out walking.
ReplyDeleteWhat an eventful day! How lucky is that pilot?! And OF COURSE the anchorman thought you were a cool dog ... who wouldn't?
