The photo by the OP that starts the thread shows that - two men are used to wearing bow ties and three men are NOT used to wearing bow ties.

Reading the citation is breathtaking. Another reason for ALL that fly (or are flown) to be grateful to this crew is that, by getting back in one piece it was possible to quickly discover what went wrong and thus keep everyone else safe. If the a/c had pranged and one (or more) of the FC lost - it might have taken years to discover why.

(It is apparent that 'CDRW' is a Troll.)
