Flying instructor Kyle Davis gave a student a real-life lesson in emergency landing a few minutes after taking off from Winter Haven on Sunday. After the engine shut out for the third time, Davis, who shows nerves of steel, made a split-second decision to put the plane down on Havendale Boulevard, normally one of Winter Haven's busiest streets. Fortunately, there was no traffic. Davis's passenger, a professional videographer, caught the short flight and its amazing climax with a cockpit-mounted camera. The only things missing are the bleeped-out words.
