[quote]A  pilot was rescued Saturday after his small-engine plane became entangled in high-voltage power lines in Minnesota, officials said.

Thomas Koskovich, 65, was flying his Piper Cub south when he became trapped in the wires in Scott County around 4 p.m., the Scott County Sheriff's Office said. Authorities said they received a 911 call about a plane dangling upside-down in the air in Louisville Township.[/quote]

Ex-USN carrier pilot trying to get requalified.  Unfortunately, he didn't stay upright, so he'll have to try again...


(He did catch the third wire, however...)

That there is what nightmares are made of.

They actually used to have some wires off the side of a ship to "Catch a plane on"  and I think they used cubs!!  WW2 ish
