December 31, 200916 yr Wow, incredible story. Luckily Doug at least had his PPL. There's a semi-famous story of a woman having to have ATC tell her how to fly over the radio after her husband (the pilot) had a mid-air heart attack.Reminds me of a book I read when I was a kid...the title escapes me now.
January 1, 201016 yr Great news about the landing, bad news about the pilot, gotta wonder however what the ATC was thinking.
