One of the most outstanding examples of what happens to those who do not is the story of an aircraft, I forget what...seems like a Connie, back in the early sixties or maybe even earlier that flew into the FL swamps because the crew was obsessing over replacing a landing gear warning light.

It was in 1972... an Eastern Airlines L-1011 wide body. It was the classic (and tragic) example of worring about the wrong malfunction. I recall it well because at the time, I flew Eastern often into Miami on L-1011s.

Thanks for the link.

I read it. I remembered the lesson well, but I had forgot some of the interesting details.

I did recall that one of the crew members was below the flight deck but I had forgot that he was trying to get a visual on the nose gear. I had remembered him as working on the electricals.

Thanks.

Hard to believe it was 37 years ago.
