A police dashboard camera captured the dramatic landing on tape. The World War II-era AT-6 training plane, built in 1943, landed on Highway 41 near Fond Du Lac, Wis.
Two people were on board the aircraft. They were heading to an air show in Oshkosh when they had to make the emergency landing. No one was injured.
The plane's wing was damaged when it struck several highway signs while touching down. The pilot said that he experienced engine trouble. However, the exact cause of the crash landing is still being investigated, authorities said.

Yep, he landed on the highway four hundred yards East of the airport runway.
Given his choices were to land straight ahead on the highway or crash trying to turn toward the airport, I won't second guess his choice; We have the FAA for that.
