I thought it was a DC-8 that was hit by the missile. I believe it also had an all Saudi crew..

Amazing piece of flying. Simply amazing. Would give anything to hear the CVR and how they handled it. Obviously very well and by the numbers.

...You have damage to one wing and it's on fire from leaking fuel. All hydraulics are lost, so you have no control over flight surfaces. Miraculously, both engines are still operating. Can you successfully fly, and land the aircraft?

It depends... What's the inflight dinner? *grins*

Really though... it sounds fascinating... Saving for later.

Areonaut, are you planning to be at the EAA again this year? Gotta connect this time.

Saw Chuck Yeager last year. An incredible fellow.
