For those living in New York, this could be of some interest. If you have never heard Captain Al Haynes speak before, I would make an attempt to make this, it is worth the money.


EMERGENCY LANDING
The Story of Flight 232 with Captain Al Haynes

http://www.cradleofaviation.org/

Wednesday, February 1, 2006 at 7:30pm
Admission: $10.00
$8.00 for museum members

On July 19, 1989, United Flight 232 left Denver at 2:09 pm and climbed to 37,000 feet. At 3:16pm the flight crew alerted air traffic control in Minneapolis that the number two engine had FAILED and the aircraft was marginally controllable. What happened next was a harrowing story of survival for the crew and passengers of Flight 232.


Come and hear Captain Al Haynes tell the full story of how 184 passengers survived and how many more lives are saved everyday by the lessons learned by Flight 232.

A former marine aviator, Captain Haynes joined Untied Airlines in 1956 logging over 27,000 hours in DC-6, DC-7, DC-8, Boeing 727 and the DC-10. His story talks about the teamwork and execution performed by the flight crew as well as those on the ground who helped avert an even greater disaster.

Seating is limited. For tickets, information and reservations, please call 516-572-4066.

Tell you what, I have Captain Al Haynes on tape, whoever shows up on Sunday, I will show the tape to those that want to watch it up in one of the classrooms.....
 
I've seen him speak in person. An absolute MUST for pilots of any skill-level. If he's ever in your area, don't miss the presentation.
 
Yeah, I believe it was. They actually ended up in Des Moines, I think. Great story. They had to invent a landing technique for that one. Just listening to the cockpit recording of the final approach is intensely inspiring. Makes me rememorize all the memory items in the Emergency Checklist. If you want to hear a good pilot never-give-up story, Al Haynes is the one to hear it from. Heres a link to the CVR recording:

The guy who "flew" the throttles, Denny Fitch, used to fly out of the airport I taught at. Nice guy.
 
No, it was a DEN to ORD flight... I think most of the pax were from Denver... They have it on the news here from time to time updating their stories around the anniversary of the event and it usually catches my attention.

They landed at Sioux City, IA.
 
Went to college with a girl who's father was either with the NTSB or the FBI... can't remember.... anyway... he worked on that crash. It was his job to try and identify the remains.

Just glad that 184 people lived through it.
