Hi all.

Sad to report his passing at 84.
What he and his crew achieved was simply astounding.

Two types of pilots.... Those who can fly, and those who can't. He was definitely the former.

Classic British Understatement:

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them going again. I trust you are not in too much distress.”
