Where did the plane land ahead of being repaired? 100 miles from Shannon airport is a long way.

Years ago someone crash landed a small Cessna near us in Ireland. They had left New York and thought they were heading for Bermuda. They had fitted extra home made gas tanks for this. Shannon airport tried to guide them in and they missed that by over 100 miles. Plane was repaired. They took off again and promptly crashed into the sea. The prop was recovered and exhibited on the wall of a local bar.

I know that stretch of city highway, have driven there numerous times and know that a later in the day landing would have caused chaos.

Indeed, John; my thoughts as well.

I was wondering just that. Would the pilot have to hire a couple of flag people to close down the roadway for the length, duration and timing of the take off ?

Hmm, I wouldn't trust our private pilots to do their flying properly, let alone check that the road was clear before starting their takeoff roll.

In Alaska, it is legal to use roads as runways. Pictured is beautiful
1956 Cessna 182 parked near the Parks Highway. This is right across
the river from Denali.

Unfortunately, my trip up to Denali wasn't too photographically
interesting. It rained and snowed the entire time and visibility was
about a mile. So, no mountain today.
