Robert Morgan is being praised as a hero after he helped a passenger with no flying experience land a plane.
From there, Morgan instructed Harrison to slow down the plane by pulling back on the throttle a bit.
Even though Boca Raton Airport was closer, Morgan decided that because Harrison was maintaining control of the plane so well, he should try to land the plane at Palm Beach International Airport, which had more landing space and emergency supplies."It must have been no more than 10 seconds. And I kept trying to talk to him," Morgan recalled. He anxiously waited until he heard Harrison say the plane was 'on the ground' and asked what they should do next.
"My heart just kind of sank and I was just kind of thinking, thank God! Thank god. I was just overwhelmed with excitement," he added. A passenger with no flying experience managed to land a small plane at an airport in West Palm Beach after the pilot suffered a medical emergency during the flight.
