The Rescue of Flight 771
Its an old movie, and there have been several threads about it on PPRuNe in the past, but I'm after one in particular (or a pointer to the information)
Someone, somewhere posted an explanation of the mental processes/arithmetic the pilot of the Boeing used to calculate the position of the Cessna.
I remember thinking at the time, there is a man with a brain the size of a small planet - it was a lot more complex than implied in the movie.
Can anyone point me to a description of how he did it???
