Video: Passenger lands plane After pilot passes out

A passenger with no experience landed the airplane after the pilot passed out. It was a multi passenger Cessna turboprop that can have as little as 9 and up to 16 seats. “Unexplained mysterious illness” blamed for pilot passing out. Maybe we should all learn to fly planes until "doctors are no longer baffled."

Thank GOD it was a Cessna since there is reasonable ground view so that the tower could talk him down. Kudos to the passenger who stepped up to the plate!
