The story calls this a "two seater plane" but the photo belies that assertion. Really good to read of no injuries and no aircraft damage. It sure looks like they had plenty of field to land that thing in!
I thought of that too, but this one has the third window, so it couldn't be a Cadet.

I can’t make out the tail number, but the Cadet variant of the PA-28 only had two seats.
At least the Media didn't call it a "CRASH!".
My son was driving home from Minnesota to Pittsburgh yesterday and was in this are in the afternoon. I asked him today if he saw anything. I didn't think he would have but he said no.
