I was eating lunch at work today when suddenly I heard a small plane flying at full throttle. Then it stopped. Then it started again. Then after a few seconds, it died, again. It would run for 2-3 seconds, then die for 5-6. I was trying to find the plane while this went on about a half dozen times. There is a very large field next to where I work, I figured that's where he was headed.

It is a very strange feeling to have a small aircraft pass 100 feet directly over your head when it's engine isn't running. I could hear the swoosh-swoosh-swoosh of the prop windmilling.

He got down to less than 50 feet before it started again. This time it stayed running and he flew off.
