Thumbs up

Hello all,

Thanks for the gen. I have found `Freefall` ($1.95 in a book market) and read it. It is by the people who wrote `Midnight Express` and the literary classic `Not Without My Daughter`. Pretty terrible writing - but what an incredible story.

Apparently, the same crew, whilst flying the `Gimli Glider` about a year after the event, experienced the same fuel warning indicators.

`Here we go again` were the words of the captain! This time, though, they did have plenty of fuel on board...

NG...your instructor is immortalised in Freefall. I assume it`s him, as there is mention of a C150 on the other `runway`.


cheers
