AVweb blogger Paul Berge recently observed--only half in jest--that an
airplane would land itself if left unattended. It has happened, as this
AVweb classic video shows. The incident, which occurred in 1970, has
become known as the Cornfield Bomber. After the pilot ejected because he
couldn't recover from a flat spin, the airplane righted itself and
landed in a cornfield. It was recovered, repaired and flew again. This
video details one of the most bizarre incidents in aviation history.
