you mentioned the dc3...how many of those came apart in flight due to pilot over controlling the rudder?

I think the dc3 would be easier to certify now than the current 737...

and AIR SUPPORT

see you at the picnic!~ and let's be sure to use safe food handling and avoid food poisioning!

us skeptical pilots are getting rarer and rarer. ;-)

and air rabbit...9 seconds is a long time for an experienced airline pilot. about 6 seconds pass from crossing the threshold of a runway to touchdown on a normal landing ( 50' over threshold, 500 fpm descent...you do the math)

and alot happens there. I've certainly taken over from an inexperienced or screwing up copilot in less time than that. I'll bet air support and others have too.


all of you who think it was the pilot...welcome aboard the airbus 300! all 34 in pax service in the usa.

all of you who think that the pilot was shafted...you have lots of other choices!
