Can an airplane land anywhere?

Can a plane take off without a runway?

A vertical and/or short take-off and landing (V/STOL) aircraft is an airplane able to take-off or land vertically or on short runways.

Can an airplane fly on a treadmill?

Yes. It does not actually matter much which direction and how fast the treadmill would rotate; the aircraft will take off. The only requirement for generating lift is to move through the air sufficiently fast. The speed is created by thrust.

Can a plane land on a road in Alaska?

If you land on a road without good reason, it could be construed as reckless. In remote areas like Alaska landing off field is routine and occurs as a matter of course. Pilots that fly in back woods areas and land off field all the time are called “bush pilots”.

What was the name of the plane that went off the road?

A Vans RV-9 was approaching Hobart Regional Airport when it lost power. The pilot determined they couldn’t make the field, and opted to land on a nearby road. During landing, the airplane veered off the road and into a field, buckling the fuselage. Read the NTSB report here.
