Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember the Harlingen incident the crew did not tranfer control of the aircraft, and they went around, cleaned up and came up with a plan to shoot the back course and the FO flew the whole thing, if I remember reading it correctly. Someone also claimed there was video of the Captain and FO telling of their experience about the incident in one of our training videos sometime back. Does anyone know if that is true?
