Really, incredible. In the OR, usually with trauma victims (e.g., stab wounds to the neck), things can get tense. I make it a point to never lose my cool, but I am only dealing with one life, and it is not my own.
Having made my living “driving” a Gulfstream IV, I have to commend the flight crew. Having to make the decisions that theh cptain made and as quickly as he had to, itisamazing how well this turned out. Without power that jet, or just about any jet has a glide angle almost like a rock. I would only hope that If I had to make the choices he did, I could do half as well. Hats of to the flight crew, well done.
This is incredible. I caught a little bit of the tapes on NPR last night, but it’s amazing to hear the whole thing. . .

Has anyone seen a flight path of the short trip?
