wow! Lucky for all the people on board that there was another pilot there!!! 


Question for all you other AHers... how many of you have the dream where you're called to land a plane you're a passenger on??? ( I know I do... :) though I'm not say'n I want a pilot to die so that I could get the chance)

For sure any AH player would increase people's chance to survive tenfold compared to non-simulator players. Regular folks do not understand the concept of stall for example - well not untill it happens and then they get no respawn.

The rest of the folks on the plane were family. They were coming back from the guys brothers funeral. The man that landed the twin had 130 hours in singles. He had some working knowledge  of aircraft. Still great job by all concerned.
