Just had an incident up in Lincolnshire north of Chicago. A pilot landed his ski equipped Piper Cub on a golf course part of the Marriot Resort. People called it in thinking it was a crash or aborted flight. Turns out the 65 yo pilot was landing near a tennis court, where is grandson was late for his lesson Exclamation Rolling Eyes

He had to have the aircraft dismantled and trucked out of the course. Police and FAA are investigating! (You think) Laughing

Classic right there. I wonder how late the grandson ended up being?
