I was a passenger
in an airplane in western SD... close to Hot Springs ... do not recall the
Highway name ... the airplane was getting ice on the wings or wherever ice
forms on airplanes.
The pilot landed
the airplane on this two lane highway and taxied as far to the right as he
could. A car came over the next rise in the highway, and started honking
and swerving (realize there is blowing snow and the usual SD slippery
asphalt); the pilots remark was "Has that idiot never seen an airplane
before?"
I
was laughing at the remark made by the pilot and at the same time fearful
that the "honker" would run into us.... did not even have time to feel any
serious anxiety, however, because the pilot was calm and was able to avoid
the oncoming idiot with the honking horn and to taxi to the top of the next
rise in the road; once more to become airborne. The final destination was
to land at the Rapid City Airport, which he did without any more
distractions.
