## Resource

A 77-year-old pilot walked away from a bizarre runway crash at Whiteman Airport after his experimental plane veered off during landing—thanks to faulty landing gear. No injuries on the ground, no fire, and quick containment of a small fuel leak. The pilot’s headed to the hospital for evaluation, and authorities are investigating what went wrong. A sobering reminder that even seasoned aviators face unexpected risks. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
