Oh, the horror!!!!

This is what gives general aviation and bad name. IMO anyone who pulls a
stunt like this should have their ticket revoked, permanently.

Just out of curiosity, did he violate any aviation regulations (except
for the recklessness catch-all, if the landing was unsafe)? Obviously
the altitude and obstacle-clearance regulations in 91.119 don't apply,
since he was landing.

hmmm..

So if he were quick witted enough, he would have said, "Gee, that
engine was running rough so I had to put it down..."

While his son runs off to his appointment.

Nice.
