Plane lands on flatbed truck
CHILOQUIN, Ore. (AP) - The pilot of a homemade plane trying to make
an emergency landing on a highway landed on a flatbed truck. Howard
Aaron Hamer, 63, had just taken off from the airport in the high
desert town of Chiloquin on Thursday when his single-engine plane
lost power, state police said. He decided to attempt an emergency
landing northbound on U.S. 97. At the same time, the truck driver -
also traveling north - pulled under Hamer's plane without realizing
it. The plane's propeller snagged on the sleeper of the truck. The
nose of the aircraft remained on the sleeper berth, while the tail
crashed down onto the empty flatbed trailer. See
