I'm not sure what's more congested, the NY/NJ airspace, or a New Jersey highway. Unfortunately for 44-year-old flight instructor Joe Rubino, and 58-year-old John Hannon they had to experience both today when the Cessna 152 they were piloting lost power on takeoff and was forced to make an emergency landing near Tinton Falls, NJ. The most surprising part is that someone was courteous enough to allow them to merge into traffic on the Garden State Parkway in order to put her down. Bystanders actually helped move the aircraft to the shoulder so they could keep on their commute. The aircraft was later loaded onto a flatbed truck and moved to another site.
(Don't drive this truck too fast, it doesn't take much for a 152 to want to get airborne.)
