My question is what do most people think about landing on a freeway?

In the Los Angeles area the freeways are almost always too crowded to
provide a successful landing site. There are always the issues of
roadside poles and power lines when considering a landing on a road,
which can be more problematic than automobile traffic.

Given the scenario of the story you cite, freeways in Minnesota at
night may be a reasonable choice. A forced night landing is not a
happy prospect even with night-vision goggles.

An old pilot once told me, when forced to land at night, turn on the
landing light, and when you get close to the ground if you don't like
what you see, turn it off. :-(

Why do you assume that anybody in this newsgroup knows what most people
think?

I know what everybody thinks. I just keep quiet about it.

Calm yourself, Jim. There are some pretty competent people in this menagerie. If
we were all out to get you, ........

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

Damn it, Mabel, I told you that you needed new glasses. We're driving on
the airport.

Depends on what else is in the area.

At night I'd land on I-80 or I-380 (our two "local" interstate highways)
without a second thought. During the day, I'd aim for a field, presuming
there was one nearby.
