"I actually wept at the time"
"I really thought we had had it, I dived down from 22,000 feet to 3,000 feet to get out, I threw all my experience at it, I actually wept at the time, not for me but for betraying the crew. I was an experienced operational pilot and everything I knew didn’t seem to work".
In reading all the previous posts about "Tucker" I had not warmed to his character at all, despite his obvious courage. How easy it is to make a judgement based on a laconic account without really knowing the man. Tonight's post has changed this reader's assessment - respect is due.
