the fact that it landed on the car is just funny.. what are the odds of that happening.That like the time i put my hand out the window at 80mph and a sea gull nailed me. I do get a little concerned with the parachute activity at marina though.

Yeah I saw this story a while back. Word is the racing going on at the "little-used" (note the difference between "little-" and "un-") airport wasn't exactly legal.

For a more interesting story, read about the Gimli Glider (http://www.silhouet.com/motorsport/tracks/gimli.html):

Best part of the Gimli Glider story:


The fire in the aircraft's nose area was battled by members of the Winnipeg Sports Car Club who converged on the plane with dozens of hand-held fire extinguishers.
