Dangerous Flights

Thanks for the link!

One of the greatest true stories I have heard

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_188_Pacific_rescue

Reminds me of this from a few months ago

EDIT: It appears a televised-movie was made of the event called “mercy mission: the rescue of flight 771”. It’s on youtube, the first part’s a little boring – but the nitty gritty is from part 4 onwards http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDROb6t9vgM

After watching the end of that movie, I found out that Cpt Gordon Brooks (The flight engineer of the ANZ flight) was killed on ANZ flight 901 less than a year later. Which is a bummer. As for Cpt Gordon Vette, he’s a true inspiration for flight crews all over the world.

I have the first 6 ep’s already,
I have most of Ice Pilots too, there out there if you want to watch them now. 😉

I can wait 🙂

I don’t think it’s started yet, but it could be interesting.

I expect the danger aspect will be overplayed, just a touch 🙂

A new series of Ice Pilots starts this Sunday too (30th)
