[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...)
