An 80-year-old Wisconsin woman is being praised for her calm under pressure after her husband had a heart attack and died in the pilot’s seat and she was forced to land the plane by herself. Helen Collins, who’d taken a handful of flying lessons two decade ago but has no license, guided the plane down with the help of her son’s voice over the radio, says the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
