1. Do you want me to call 911?

Really!! Glad the man was ok.

2. What sort of plane was that?

I thought it was a glider too, but then not. Experimental, home built, ???

4. Looking up the N number yields this

Summary1974 SPORTAVIA PUTZER RF5B SPERBER
Glider
(2 seats / 1 engine)



A google search of that type gets this. Not the aircraft involved.

I figured it was some sort of powered glider based on the long wings. It’s an experimental aircraft.

6. I think you're absolutely right.

I'm a glider pilot but never even flew in a motorized glider. Well, he walked away, good landing.

8. A great landing is...

...when the plane can used again. In this case, maybe not.

going to Seattle.

5. Looks like a motorized glider to me.

The wing span and the engine. "Hit a down draft"?
