OMG I know this could have ended horribly but this guy was great. The 911 dispatcher sounds more nervous then the PIC. I love the chuckle at 1:31. Mr' Gregory if you are on our forum I give a big salute of being so calm.

He was cool, calm and collected. The pilot, John Gregory, was 79 years old.

Re: Plane stuck in tree
Although none of the reporting provided the tail number of the airplane, a TV news video of it in the treetop clearly shows N727WW, a 2004 E A/B PA-18 Super Cub replica according to the FAA Registry.
