Thats a whole bunch of Aircraft to have to control if things go sour .....Heres hoping all the crew can get together in the future and have a few good stories over a Beer.
Tyrant writes:"He was +- 10nm miles from the field when he was given one of his base turn vectors, this when he called mayday." A message in here that I have heard in the states is about the difference between "Land as soon as Practicable" and "Land Immediately"
As We do not yet know what the "Emergency" was, no speculation can be made. I do know however that lots of Pilots have grave thoughts as to "Land Immediately" when they start thinking of the paperwork, career etc when knowing the aircraft will be broken no matter what. This is not to reflect anything on this particular situation, its just something to think about. Maydays dont go out unless its serious stuff. I have lost more than one friend who tried to "get it back safely" 10nm miles is a lot of thinking.
Be careful out there and speedy recovery to the crew.
