A passenger with zero flying experience was forced to land a small plane at Palm Beach International Airport after his pilot suffered a sudden medical emergency.
The unidentified man took over the controls of a Cessna Caravan after the pilot “became incoherent” on the way back to Florida from the Bahamas Tuesday afternoon.
WPBF-TV reporter Ari Hait posted this footage of the landing.
