So he closed the bar and decided to fly home anyway?

A student pilot who landed a small plane on a Missouri highway early Friday was arrested on charges including driving while intoxicated, authorities said. 

The pilot of the single-engine Piper Cherokee landed the plane about 2:45 a.m. on Interstate 70 near Grain Valley, a city about 22 miles east of Kansas City, Mo.

  1. I'm old as dirt. I've never eaten one of them. In the fifties we went to Carrolls and got the burger that was a burger, a pickle and maybe ketsup and mustard on it. Years later I got the same at McRatburgers.

  2. There is an airport within a half mile of the Grain Valley exit. The story doesn't tell which side of Grain Valley he was on, but if he was on the KC side, he flew over it.

    I suspect his instructor did not approve the flight.
