Crazy Snap Captain Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) I'd feel much better knowing this guy was on the same flight as me. Link Edited June 5, 2014 by Crazy Snap Captain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Check Six Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Yep; I read that on the USAF official website a couple days ago. Cool story indeed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Exhausted Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 What a badass. If I was a pilot, bringing a commercial bird home safely during an emergency would secretly be on my bucket-list. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alternative 4 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'm not a pilot and its on my bucket list haha. I would much rather fly a B-1b though! Great story. Servicemen/women get nowhere near the recognition they deserve. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChippyWho Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 "...I was asked by the first officer, 'are you a pilot?' which was quickly followed by 'what do you fly?'" "One, yes and two, a shedload of canned death. Hey, shouldn't there be a toilet in here somewheres...?" Great story, lucky travellers and lucky plane! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great story, lucky travellers and lucky plane! :yahoo:/> That would definitely be the most awesome response. I'm so glad that he was on the flight and able to help out. I also hope the other pilot will now be able to make a full recovery. I'm glad he survived the ordeal. Eric Edited June 5, 2014 by echolmberg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Julien (UK) Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Good on him for doing it and not trying to grab a load of glory for doing it. I heard the only problem he had was trying to find the wing sweep control :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
