BIK 116.8 thanks for the GC track (great link by the way), but looking at it got me thinking that if they were 192 minutes on one mill at the sort of speed suggested, then maybe they were actually closer to Pago Pago (NSTU) or Faleolo (NSFA) when this problem occurred. Of course I have no idea what the weather might have been like in those places, but did they really divert to the NEAREST adequate airport, or rather the nearest US airport?
