I found the below in the BBC article about the solar plane which just landed in Hawaii:
"The plane circled above the airport a few times before coming into land"
Doesn't "Into land" mean the plane will shortly bury itself into a hillside? Or, is it simply a British usage rather than "in to land"? Pete

Re: Smack the Journalist
The British usage would be interpreted such that the plane had recently been bequeathed some kind of property on account of a wealthy benefactor leaving it a large country pile in their Will.
Possibly even with a title.
