FLY IN LESSONS
911 callers reported a plane in trouble.
Pilot Bob Kadera was about to land on a golf course at the Marriott Lincolnshire.
His 14-year-old son Isaac in the passenger seat.
When asked if he thought it was a good idea at the time, Isaac said "not entirely."
But his dad put it down perfectly on the 7th fairway.
Pilot Bob Kadera said he wasn't running out of gas and he wasn't experiencing engine trouble.
In fact this was not an emergency. So why does a pilot land on a golf course? Because his son was running late for his tennis lesson at this club across the street.
"No, it's another means of transportation," said Bob. "You know cars, boats, planes, trains. Another means of transportation, way to get around. You know traffic is really terrible."
Kadera says he didn't think anyone would notice, but police were waiting.
Randy Melvin, Lincolnshire Police Chief, says "he had never contacted the Marriott Resort. He had no permission to land the plane. We are in the flight path for the Chicago Executive Airport, which is a private airport down in Wheeling."
By the way, police did not let Isaac make his tennis lesson but he did land a spot on his school's tennis team. And the youngest of 10 children seems to appreciate the dedication of his 65-year-old dad.
Isaac says "he's a good dad. He'll do whatever it takes."
Still Isaac says next time, they'll take the minivan.
