Almost: That Vietnam story is simply amazing. One of the most incredible things I've read in quite a while.
NR: I read that report a few months ago. A 2-3 inch section of cord with connectors is something I would imagine is a no brainer - when I read the part where it described the doctor finding him, I thought he had forgotten the emergency cord disconnector or something. Seems like something that simple should be SOP. RIP Pilot.
I've got a question here - are there some flights you shouldn't wear helmets? VIP passengers I'd think wouldn't like seeing a helmet-headed pilot greeting them any more than a helmet-haired pilot. ENG personalities would probably be unrecognizable with the visor down. Tour pilots/guides would probably scare the passengers. Any thoughts?
