A routine flight turned into a miracle when the pilot of a Cessna 208 airplane suffered a medical emergency, forcing a passenger with no flight training to take control.
Guided only by air traffic control, the passenger managed to stay calm, operate the radio, and attempt the landing.
Against all odds, he successfully landed the powerful single-engine plane at Palm Beach International Airport to flight instructors calling it the ‘perfect landing’ in the news.
Check out the clip above, and find yourself seriously impressed by how cool, calm and collected the passenger was over the radio.
