I just read this story about a plane that made an emergency landing on I80 east of Wendover and hit a truck.

I guess he didn't see that big white area next to the freeway where he could have put it down

would it be called Ditching... if you made a landing a dry lake bed...

People "ditch" planes there regularly during speedweek. What he did on the highway they called a landing, I call it a crash.

Didn't want to get his plane dirty on the white stuff.

See? It's still nice and clean.
