Glueball,
Your comments,
"How do you know that Capt Lavelle's report to the NTSB about F/O Sten Molin having kicked the rudder at an earlier time while flying copilot on the B727 was...made up?"
I did not say it was made up. It was just irrelevant. Sten had no control of the rudder, after the rotating vortices struck it on alternate sides and severed the linkages to the actuators.
"How do you know that F/O Stan Molin didn't kick the rudder after the recorded wake encounter during climb out at JFK?"
Would you kick the rudder in this manner? Hell no, or any other pilot!
