"Striker, Striker..." (man strikes woman in background) "where do I know that name from?"

Pretty cool. However, having spent a fair amount of time in the right seat of GA aircraft, I would think it would be much easier for a pilot certified in single engine aircraft to land a King Air than it would be for a non-pilot to land a single. The physics are basically the same, with the biggest differences being how quickly things happen. Given that he had the full attention of the controllers, it makes the speed thing a little easier.

Hmmm, I know there is an regulation for the requirement of a copilot on commercial flights. I believe there is a passenger number cutoff, I guess they fell below that. King Airs are definitely setup for a copilot if needed.

I’ve been in a few business meetings where I suspect two individuals are using the intended topic as a means to have a side-bar feud with each other. When this happens, I always think about the whole…”the yellow zone is for loading & unloading of passengers”…"oh, come on Jane, you’re just mad because…”

Is it possible that it happened over Macho Grande?
