The World of Aviation Al Malmberg welcomes back Darrin Smedsmo.  In October Darrin was flying from Roseau to Bemidji when his restored Stinson's engine suddenly stopped. Darrin successfully made an emergency landing on a state highway..  He wasn't injured and his plane was undamaged.  No one on the ground was injured and there wasn't any property damage.  All good, right?  Awww, not really.  Darrin landed on the Red Lake Indian Reservation. Tribal Police seized and impounded his plane!  And, he still has gotten it back!  What's going on?
