.The only reason it landed safely was because Ken Andrews would have "taken over".
If there had been a 20-25 year old instructor flying that plane, they would probably have crashed too!
Just wondering, how many actual inflight emergencies have you had? i am only 1/3 Kens age, and recently had a smoke/fire in the cabin incident, sure the first few seconds your heart skips a few beats, you think, no, this isnt happening, but just then the training kicks in.. and the entire emergency procedure becomes automatic. you calm down, and do what you have to do..
just because th instructor is only 20/30 yrs old, doesn't mean they dont know how to handle and emergency. but then again, i was fortunate enough to be taught by Brian Wetless,Jack Curtis and Wally Rudin.
though i still think an actual engine off simulated engine failure or 3 would make a big difference in ones ability to handle an actual failure. back then it was legal for CFI;s to turn an engine off in flight.
