The folks who showed up for the Dayton Air Show on Sunday got a little extra action for free when a Northwest Airlines flight made an emergency landing putting the festivities briefly on hold. The Boeing 757 was heading from Tampa to Detroit when one of its engines had an in-flight computer failure. The flight crew shut down that engine and made a precautionary lading at the Dayton International Airport, right in the middle of their annual air show. The show's commentator announced over the loudspeaker, "All right, a piece of cake," as the crowd applauded the safe landing and rollout of the 757. The air show continued after a 25 minute delay, but the passengers of the Northwest flight spent the rest of their trip to Detroit on a bus.(photo credit: James Mepsted via Airliners.net)
