Summary
A vintage WWII Vultee BT-13A Valiant, nicknamed the “Vultee Vibrator,” made an emergency highway landing in Georgia after a mechanical failure during a flight from Florida to Wisconsin. The pilot landed safely around 1 p.m. on Highway 19, with no injuries reported. Local deputies and a crane crew swiftly secured the plane and began recovery, transporting it to an airport in Taylor County for repairs. Once used to train thousands of American pilots, only about 40 of the 11,000 built remain airworthy today. Officials are still investigating the cause of the emergency, and the identities of those aboard remain undisclosed. A rare slice of aviation history—now grounded but unharmed.
