Cockpit Video of Emergency Landing on Havendale Boulevard

Videos of men who have balls of steel are always cool to watch. This video is from the cockpit of a small plane that made an emergency landing on Havendale Boulevard in Florida. It’s fascinating how the men inside the cockpit were looking the death in the rectum yet they kept their cool, picked the best place when to attempt an emergency landing and landed with grace so that there were no life losses, no injuries, not even any property damage. And at the end they just parked their plane on the side like it was a car. Truly awesome.

The pilot of the plane was only 22 year old. His name is Kyle Davis – he was flying the plane along with his buddy Joe Surowiec who is seen in the video sitting next to him. The two took off from Winter Haven and were heading to the Lakeland Sun n’ Fun Fly-In when one of the plane engines failed. Realizing the urgency of situation, the men knew they had to attempt an emergency landing and so they did. The whole ordeal (even though it wasn’t one) was recorded on two cameras – one in the cockpit and another one somewhere behind the engine.

After engine had failed, Kyle Davis started looking for a place to land. They first considered a few fields that were in the area but decided it would be difficult to land there, so they chose to land on Havendale Boulevard while cars were casually passing by. This whole emergency landing was done with both men entirely calm and relaxed, like landing on the street was normal. Kyle Davis is a great pilot, obviously. Especially considering he’s only 22 year old. Check out the video below:
