Pawnee Crashes Into House - Northglenn, CO

Firefighter piloting a pawnee for a banner tow company crashes into house - survives, climbs out on parachute, searches house and then fights the fire... Can't wait to hear what happened to the plane that he couldn't avoid houses.

Channel 2 news believes he flew out of Platte Valley for some reason. They were out filming "backstory" type stuff while we were playing in the perfect weather...

"Records show the home that was damaged in the crash once belonged to a man with the same name as the pilot."


Huh. :lol:

Housing market looking up. He should have waited. Not ours to judge. It might have been helpful to have been taught safe low level maneuvering techniques like forced landing on takeoff.

Maybe it was his ex's house and he is a kamakazi?
