Mercy flight - the rescue

Last night I watched a movie on Austar which told the story of an Air New Zealand DC10 capatain and crew who located and guided the pilot of a Cessna Agwaggon who was "unsure of his position' (that means lost and scared) in the middle of the ocean.

This was obviously the story of Gordon Vette who Actually did this using "rule of thumb" methods and was sucessful.

But I did not know that he was a yank!! I thought he was a kiwi. Silly me.

An interesting movie with the usual silly drama.
