Must've been sorta morbid to fly a plane with a dead guy next to you....


Do it every day, they're called FO's or CAPT's LOL

And yes, I said towel head, and yes, I stand by that description, if you're offended, move to some other country.

Ha ha. I truly agree with your description, but be careful. I said the words "R-g H--d" in a post during the Christmas holidays and wound up getting banned for an entire month!

Hopefully this guy was honest on all his medicals. We're all going to pay for it if he forgot something....

S#@$ yeah I would! And if I were the ATC guy I would have logged "dual given" even if he's not a CFI.

I am amazed at both the pilot AND the controller. I think that controller did a fantactic job, and that poor guy must have been scared to death. The fact that he held it together to save his family is outstanding. Good job all around.
