@CCRider100

partially agreed. They are 3 ways of dealing with air crisis as I know. One by freezing or acting too slow in disbelief. Two by overreacting and acting too fast without thinking well. Three by a balance of the two and fighting fear with hell I'm going to fight this until the end. But for that, you have to be like a Boxer, fight the plane coordinated even if you are getting hurt by fear. Brits seldom overreact but do the right thing, sometimes freeze, but not as often as others.

I'm British but I'd suggest that theres plenty of other pilots Worldwide who would have pulled this off. The American who managed to crash land that flight into the River Hudson saving all on board being just one example.

@CFITOMAHAWK - Obviously many other countries have very good pilots, and not ONLY Brits have shown amazing pilot skills when needed, it would be silly to suggest otherwise. I was just stating that if on a plane with mechanical problems, a British crew would still be my first preference JMO of course. They are well trained, work as a team, and the Brits (in general not always of course) seem to have a different way of dealing with crisis.

@CCRider01 What about TACA 110 in 1988. They put the 737 on a field in thunderstorms without scratching the airplane. Airplane is still flying.

Or The Gimly Glider, or the Transat that glided onto The Azores Island.

None of them were Brits. They were Spanish and French, yes French the last two. So was the Baghdad DHL in 2003, landed without flight controls after been hit by a SAM.
