banana head:
my sincere thanks for the correction. and yes, I am sure that if tridents were flown in the US by US pilots , they too would have called "them" droops.
I must be thinking of a similiar episode in an airplane with CVR as the pilot pulling up the high lift devices was apologizing right into the ground. cannot remember what type of aircraft.
thanks again. by the way, do you favor cockpit video recorders as an accident investigation tool?
regards
jon
