They need to put those old World War II planes in the hanger and forget about them. The Commemorative Air Force, based in Texas, has a whole fleet of them and they've had several fatal accidents. Most are 65-70 years old and just not reliable.

Do you know if this is Santa Monica or Van Nuys as they both have golf courses? My Dad( by request )was Harrison's first solo controller when he was learning.


Hi Nancy

It was over by Venice. So, Santa Monica. I hear Harrison is an accomplished pilot, and has been flying for years. I think the engine failed in the old plane. He radioed to get permission to land, avoided homes and landed in the golf course. He was in the back seat, because I guess in the old WWII plane, that is where the pilot sits. Who knew?

I'm glad he is okay and that no one on the ground was hurt.
