But this turnt out great, the pilot is a legend.

Post by: a;sdlfkjas;df on Jan 16, 2009, 05:02: AM: it's pretty ridiculous. i'm not surprised though. dude is an ex-usaf fighter pilot/instructor. those dudes are legit. that's a tough job and not something that many people can deal with

says he owns a consulting firm. he should get some pub from this. dude deserves it

yeah. funny how that works out. jet + birds = mutually assured destruction

i always dreamed of being a pilot and being called a legend after a crash landing :down:

Post by: sputnik on Jan 19, 2009, 02:45: AM: tbh well done pilot and he is a legitimate general hero, but i dont get why everybody is idolising him as their hero. anyone with 28 years piloting would have made the decision he did, and the fact that 0 casualties happened was not down to him personally but his entire crew also (and most likely a bit of luck too).
