Sounds like a quote from the sci-fi classic, 2001: "My God; it's full of stars!"
When you said 184 TAS: I was in the 747-400 doing an approach into Hong Kong during a typhoon, where we were flying 184 indicated on final....
Riddler, what were you flying when you were coming in on "a half-wing and a prayer?"
The reason we had so many officers was because it was a CAPSTONE mission. Think of it as a giant field trip for 1 stars with a 4 star chaperon. If you want to know more
