A beginner pilot in Michigan safely landed a plane that was missing a crucial part Friday after another pilot coached her through the terrifying, caught-on-camera moment Friday.
On Taylor Hash’s third-ever solo flight, she lost the aircraft’s front nose gear tire as she cleared the runway and ascended into the air.
The missing piece was quickly noticed by another pilot who was preparing for take off, according to reports.
The veteran pilot alerted the control tower at Oakland County International Airport about the mishap, and then jumped into action to offer life-saving guidance to the freaked-out 21-year-old.
The more experienced pilot, Chris Yates, radioed Hash and quickly reassured her as he heard her voice tremble.
