Watch the video. The airplane appears undamaged after forced landing on departure from KTUL. After viewing the video I couldn't figure out how the pilot avoided both the power lines and poles and made it onto the pavement.

Pretty good stick and rudder work. And you certainly can't beat the outcome - no bruises and no dents!

Props to the pilot!

They could have indeed used some powered props.

I've had 3 dead stick landings. How many have you had?

I've had 41 dead stick landings.

you need a better mechanic doing your annuals :lol:

I think every time they checked they didn't find an engine installed, yet signed it off as airworthy!

Two 18 year olds on board, that's a formula for disaster. The field or the road ,they made a great landing with no injuries and no damage. Well done.

If it was a couple geezers on board the digits would have to be swapped:
