Some local excitement
From the
Bellingham Herald:
Plane makes emergency landing on I-5 north of Bellingham
Nobody was hurt when a Cessna airplane made an emergency landing on Interstate 5, clipping a blue Sedan on the way down Friday, Aug. 31.
The single-engine aircraft was heading from the Spokane area to Bellingham for its annual maintenance checkup, the pilot, Tony Dulley, said later with a smirk.
Dulley, of Spokane, had pulled around the south side of Mount Baker at a height of 10,000 feet and started his descent about 1:30 p.m.
As he reached about 6,000 feet, he said, moisture in the air �iced� the carburetor and cut off fuel to the engine.
Everything went silent.
It was the first time Shelby Rush � his girlfriend, who later admitted she has a phobia of flying � had flown with Dulley. But she trusted his two decades of experience as a pilot.
Ruh Roh! Kudos to a perfectly executed and controlled landing.
It was pretty humid today.
