Mighty Gem, I remember the night that "Lucky" told me the story of that landing, as we approached Speke, at 500 feet in the dark. I asked which crew it was, and he laughed and said "Us" so that made me feel better, or something.

Looking at the video later that evening. I decide to check the door latches myself before getting back in.

What an awesome bit of flying, by an awesome pilot.
