Golf Course Becomes Runway in Young Pilot’s Incredible Emergency Landing

A golf course became an unexpected runway in a young pilot’s incredible emergency landing. The aircraft’s stunning emergency landing on the course was all captured on camera. Watch the short but unbelievable clip to see the plane landing in the middle of a course.

Everyone has hobbies and pastimes—things that let them kick back and relax. Hobbies can be helpful for our mental health. They can help calm our nerves and take our minds off those people and situations that induce stress and worry. If you don’t have a favorite hobby, picking one up is probably a good idea.

For many people, golf is their chosen hobby. They enjoy spending their free time out on the green, shooting a round of nine or 18. Personally, putt-putt is the closest I get to playing actual golf. The few times I have played golf, I’ve found it incredibly dull and slow, but maybe that’s the entire point?

For golfers on one course in Los Angeles, their round of golf was anything but dull and slow. While they were playing, they witnessed an airplane on the course—yes, an airplane used the course as a runway. A clip posted on YouTube captures the unbelievable sight.

The plane was piloted by Jim Moret, a 21-year-old who had recently gotten his license. The clip states that while flying the friendly skies, the plane’s engine quit working, forcing him to make an emergency landing. He quickly spotted two options – a soccer field with children or the golf course. The young man promptly chose the golf course.

The video doesn’t mention if there were any injuries involved in the emergency landing, but Jim’s first action after getting back on solid ground seems to indicate that no one was hurt. He called his mother.

“I just had to make a landing at a golf course, everything’s OK,” Jim told his mother. “Because I didn’t want my mom to freak out, and then she called me about 10 minutes later, after seeing everything all over the news, bawling her eyes out.”

2 Timothy 1:7 “For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of self-control.”
