Key Takeaways:

An apparently confused pilot of a Piper Arrow recently landed on State Route 64 instead of at Arizona’s Grand Canyon National Park Airport, according to a report by the Arizona Republic.

“The plane did not crash, [it] simply landed on the highway,” the paper quoted an Arizona Department of Public Safety official as saying. “We now know this was not an emergency landing, simply a confused pilot who thought the highway was part of the airport.”
