You're flying along on a beautiful October day when suddenly you have a catastrophic engine failure.  Your training kicks in, you pick out a place to land and you make a perfect emergency landing on a Minnesota state highway.  Phew!  That was scary!  Little do you know your troubles are only beginning.  You've landed on the Red Lake Indian Reservation.  You didn't know you couldn't do that, even in an emergency.  Well, that's what happened to Darrin Smedsmo, our guest on The World of Aviation on Sunday morning.  They seized and impounded his plane.  What!?  To hear more, join Darrin and Al Malmberg at 10:05 on Am-1280-The Patriot.

“Emergency Landing Gone Wrong: A Minnesota Highway to Red Lake Trouble” W Guest Darrin Smedsmo

This week on World of Aviation, Al Malmberg commemorates the 84th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, which occurred on December 7, 1941. To help mark the occasion, he welcomes back Karl Zingheim, the official historian of the USS Midway. Together they explore why the United States was caught so flat-footed that morning, despite clear signs that Japan was preparing for an attack. They examine the decisions that led to the battleships being grouped together in the harbor and discuss whether there were answers—or missed opportunities—that might have changed history. Join us for a compelling and thoughtful look back at one of aviation’s most pivotal moments.
