Yep, very interesting. Here is another video From WBZ about the landing: Student Pilot On First Solo Flight Lands Safely After Losing Wheel - YouTube

And a snip of the pilot:

A couple things....

did anyone notice the cool coat hooks behind her in the interview?

Did anyone notice the plane in the background?

Appears to be a B25 maybe???

The young lady, and the tower controller did a very good job keeping the situation under control.

As the instructor was telling her, this {at a minimum} only requires you to perform a normal landing. The only thing you are really fighting against here is stress.

I had mechanical failure when I was at about the same level of experience flying solo.

When you realize you have a problem the rush of adrenaline hits you, and it is overwhelming.

Knowing she can deal with that, will be of great benefit to her if she ever is under that much stress again.

Hopefully, she has learned now, not to fly Pipers. :D

No, thought they were the same as some old hooks that we have.

Looked again and see they are airplane hooks.
