An 80-year-old US woman with little flying experience has staged an emergency landing in Wisconsin after her pilot husband collapsed and died.
Helen Collins remained calm as she brought the small Cessna plane in to land at Cherryland Airport, even though she said she knew her husband was dead.
She had taken basic lessons in taking off and landing 30 years ago, her son told the Associated Press news agency.
Tom Esslemont reports.
