Motorists horrified as 'Nazi plane' suffers engine failure, crash lands on freeway and bursts into flames
The pilot of a vintage single-engine aircraft escaped death after the plane crashed and burst into flames on a southern California freeway on Tuesday
A vintage aircraft with markings of Nazi Germany's Luftwaffe crash-landed on lanes of the 101 Freeway in Agoura Hills, California, on Tuesday and burst into flames. The pilot miraculously walked away unscathed.
But despite the Luftwaffe’s black-and-white cross marks, the plane was not a WWII aircraft from Germany but rather a North American AT-6/SNJ trainer airplane with the pilot aboard as the sole occupant. The plane belonged to Condor Squadron, a nonprofit organization founded by WWII pilots in 1965 which flies WWII-themed planes over parades, celebrations, memorials and in mock dogfights, the Huffington Post reports.
