was thinking the exact samething, doesnt pass the smell test. The guy reads tons of books on this type of emergency landing and gave classes on emergency landings I read.. He also seems very much like a yes man. I play tennis with several commercial pilots, none are as phony as this guy. Some one posted in poli forum was a deversion of something sinister the government was doing to us. Quick to call him a hero, BFD this was a rouitine and a VERY EASY MANEUVER, my pilot freind was saying.
