Not hardly. I meant "we" in the collective sense, not individual.

Nope, my multi is still burning 100LL! :mad:

Did you like the "Gauntlet" reference? :)

Oh wait, I forgot. I was a videogame playing nerd those days and you were out spreading genetic code amongst all of the lovely ladies of Long Island!

Oh, I managed to drop my fair share of quarters into "Gauntlet" in between my fertilization of Long Island flowers. :D

Just curious what you 3 heard in that recording that makes you say that?

Hey, this wouldn't be JC if there wasn't some rushing to judgment. Never mind the fact that he just watched a guy die and his wife and teenage children were in the airplane with him. I am sure his mind wasn't bogged down with about a million different thoughts at the time. Some people...:banghead:

Oh yeah, so they walked away, right?!? Good on the LANDING PILOT and peace to the original pilot's family.

Oh yeah...anyone else notice his CORRECT usage of the number "9"? There aren't a lot of 135/121/AF pilots out there that say it correctly.
 
Boy...this is an interesting thread...

the passenger that took over had a pilot certificate and was rated for single engine planes. He has had it for about 10 years, but from what he explained to us, he had just recently started flying again...

Frankly, I find this thead mostly pathetic. A pilot died in midair and a passenger with no King Air experience took over the controls and saved himself and his family...the stars lined up for this one and y'all are talking about logging the hours in his log book???

Wow...some of y'all really need to find some different ways to spend your free time...
 
This guy has a single engine land. The 200, while not the most sophisticated airplane in the sky, would be quite a handful for this guy or anyone with the same experience level. Plus the fact " I have a dead pilot in the other seat" and the fact that the dead guy was apparently getting on the controls.

I personally think he did an excellent job and saved the lives of the others. It could have been a lot worse.

Does that make him a working stiff?

:) You know what I mean. I think the guy did a heck of a job with the situation.

I know. That was just a "be here all week" moment. Those never get old!

And yes I agree, the guy did indeed do a good job, with all the factors he had to work with and work without.
