Guys, when hot and high, first thing to do is put the bloody gear down! It IS the best speedbrake, and is certified to be lowered up to quite high speeds, and safely so.
It is NOT Cowboy practice, it is using your available instruments to become esablished in a safe way, also called Airmanship.
That these guys did not put the gear down when being so hot and high beggars belief. And they were both Captains??!
