protect the F18 1202, sir
Great post
I have to think the FADEC was partly to blame. In old fashioned jets you could put lots of fuel through, over temping the thing and getting some thrust. We used to say that a jt8d would run at firewall power for 8 minutes before failing. If sully could have gotten 2 minutes of half thrust, I don't think his feet would have gotten wet.
In dire emergency, big red button please. "I have control".
Buck has now stopped.
Methinks the FADEC team writing the software to protect the donks never had the Hudson in mind - up close and personal.
Huge respect for Sully and his crew, enhanced by seeing him on the newscasts today.
Yes I've read every post.
