I flew the Hawker 800XP for over 4 years. As a matter of fact I flew with this particular captain one tour.

When I heard who the captain was on this particular flight I was not surprised by the outcome. She is a super pilot. If any one could bring in a bird that was trashed that bad, she was it.

For your information, amongst other things, she had no hydraulics (therefore no gear or flaps), no air speed indicator, no altimeter, and one engine was out.

In spite of all that, she put it on the runway and everyone walked away. OK, she looked like the looser in a knife fight, but she got all stiched up and is just fine.
