Re: With manual backup, or capabilities.
I had the privilege of listening to Capt. Al Haynes lecture on flight 232 about two years ago.
They never really had the plane under control. All flying was done with the throttles.
I you ever get a chance to hear him speak-do it. It's an incredible story.
What's really sad is he doesn't credit himself or his crew for saving lives but feels responsible for those who died. That's why he lectures; to try to work thought it.
It's bad enough flying. When I'm not in control, it make me nervous.
I'll be damned if I get in anything that flies without a pilot.
