Interesting comment Lon, although I'd better not comment further given that the press are watching....

Fairly early in my ATC career I was talking to a passenger a/c which crashed... it too was being flown by a captain being "checked out" from the RH seat. It was quite different circumstances to the one portrayed last night but it makes you wonder. Peter X will never forget - I know for sure.

Huggy.... remember the Vanguard which crashed in Belgium? The guy talked all the way down from cruising level. What effect that must have had on the ATCO I dread to think.
