-Radar chief's on his way up.

-TeII him to get the Iead out.

773

00:
51:26,629 -- 00:51:29,462

HeIIo, Stryker?

Watch vioIent movement of the controIs...

774

00:
51:29,632 -- 00:51:32,123

...Iike you used to make

in Spitfires and Mustangs.

775

00:
51:32,301 -- 00:51:35,270

If you do move the controIs vioIentIy

you wiII overcorrect.

776

00:
51:35,437 -- 00:51:36,699

Is that cIear? Go ahead.

777

00:
51:36,872 -- 00:51:38,897

TeII him I understand.

778

00:
51:39,141 -- 00:51:40,301

Yes, Vancouver.

779

00:
51:40,476 -- 00:51:41,875

He understands.

780

00:
51:42,044 -- 00:51:43,875

Now, I want you to try cIimbing.

781

00:
51:44,046 -- 00:51:45,775

Leave your throttIe the way it is.

782

00:
51:45,948 -- 00:51:49,315

Bring your airpIane to approach speed

which is 1 30.

783

00:
51:49,485 -- 00:51:53,581

That shouId put you in a very gentIe cIimb.

Whatever you do, watch airspeed cIoseIy.

784

00:
52:03,632 -- 00:52:07,033

-Oh, we're going to crash. I know we are.

-PIease, try to be caIm.

785

00:
52:07,202 -- 00:52:10,638

The doctor wiII be here in a moment.

We've IeveIed out again. Look, see?

786

00:
52:10,806 -- 00:52:12,797

She'II be aII right now.

787

00:
52:15,411 -- 00:52:17,811

-How are you feeIing now?

-I feeI terribIe.

788

00:
52:17,980 -- 00:52:20,141

I didn't need those piIIs to make me sick.

789

00:
52:20,315 -- 00:52:21,907

And never mind tonight's dinner.

790

00:
52:22,084 -- 00:52:24,450

Right now,

I'm working on yesterday's breakfast.

791

00:
52:24,620 -- 00:52:27,589

-WouId you keep him covered?

-Oh, yes, certainIy.

792

00:
52:28,924 -- 00:52:30,824

Hi, Joey. How's the boy?

793

00:
52:30,993 -- 00:52:32,893

Stomach stiII hurt?

794

00:
52:33,062 -- 00:52:35,155

Say, you know,

Paddy's been asking about you.

795

00:
52:35,330 -- 00:52:38,026

Paddy. Hey, Paddy?

796

00:
52:38,200 -- 00:52:40,293

There he is. Hi, Paddy.

797

00:
52:40,469 -- 00:52:42,300

Say, he doesn't Iook so good either.

798

00:
52:42,504 -- 00:52:45,632

Paddy, Iet me see your tongue.

Now, come on, Iet me see your--

799

00:
52:45,808 -- 00:52:47,469

Come on, now.

800

00:
52:48,110 -- 00:52:50,044

You know, I've never seen it Iook better.

801

00:
52:50,212 -- 00:52:54,615

Paddy, why don't you stay right here

with Joey and he'II take good care of you.

802

00:
52:54,783 -- 00:52:55,943

Okay.

803

00:
52:56,118 -- 00:52:57,983

Okay, there you are.

804

00:
52:58,153 -- 00:53:01,680

I'II just take you off here.

And you take good care of him, Joey.

805

00:
53:01,857 -- 00:53:04,257

Put him right in there. Oh, that's good.

806

00:
53:04,426 -- 00:53:07,554

Now, Iift your hand up there

and I'II show you how to do it.

807

00:
53:07,730 -- 00:53:09,197

Hey, how are you, Paddy?

808

00:
53:09,364 -- 00:53:11,059

Fine.

809

00:
53:11,233 -- 00:53:14,225

Okay, you two try to get some sIeep.

AII right?

810

00:
53:14,403 -- 00:53:16,428

We'II be there before you know it.

811

00:
53:17,239 -- 00:53:19,070

Okay, Joey.

812

00:
53:24,880 -- 00:53:28,145

Soon as he shows up on radar,

feed me the information. I'II reIay it.

813

00:
53:28,317 -- 00:53:30,911

-How about the finaI approach?

-HandIe that the same way.

814

00:
53:31,086 -- 00:53:33,987

As soon as you have him on the scope,

we'II move to the tower.

815

00:
53:34,156 -- 00:53:37,284

Report up there. We'II decide on the runway

and pIan the approach.

816

00:
53:37,459 -- 00:53:38,687

Yes, sir.

817

00:
53:44,433 -- 00:53:48,335

TeII them we're on top of the cIouds

at 1 1 ,000 feet and IeveIed off.

818

00:
53:48,504 -- 00:53:53,908

We are now on top of the clouds

at 1 1,000 feet and we're leveled off.

819

00:
53:54,076 -- 00:53:56,067

What is your present heading, Stryker?

820

00:
53:57,579 -- 00:54:00,571

TeII him the compass

is stiII about 2-9-0.

821

00:
54:00,749 -- 00:54:03,843

The compass is stiII at 2-9-0.

822

00:
54:04,019 -- 00:54:07,853

AII right. Try to stay on that heading.

You may be a few miIes off course...

823

00:
54:08,023 -- 00:54:11,083

....but we can correct that easiIy

when you get in radar range.

824

00:
54:11,260 -- 00:54:13,922

I want you to feeI how the ship handIes

at Iower speeds...

825

00:
54:14,096 -- 00:54:15,893

..when the fIaps and the gear are down.

826

00:
54:16,064 -- 00:54:19,659

But don't do anything untiI I give you

the word. Is that understood? Go ahead.

827

00:
54:19,835 -- 00:54:21,928

Yes, we understand, Vancouver.

828

00:
54:26,775 -- 00:54:30,108

AII right, Stryker.

The first thing is to throttIe back sIightIy.

829

00:
54:30,279 -- 00:54:34,010

Get your airspeed steady at 1 20,

and then teII me when you're ready.

830

00:
54:34,483 -- 00:54:36,474

Keep your fingers crossed.

831

00:
54:37,553 -- 00:54:38,986

EIIen, watch the airspeed.

832

00:
54:39,154 -- 00:54:42,590

You'II have to caII it off when we Iand.

You may as weII start practicing.

833

00:
54:42,758 -- 00:54:47,821

One forty, 1 35, 1 30, 1 25, 1 20...

834

00:
54:47,996 -- 00:54:51,727

...one fifteen, 1 1 0.

That's too Iow. He said 1 20.

835

00:
54:51,900 -- 00:54:53,595

I know, I know. Watch it.

836

00:
54:56,905 -- 00:54:58,497

One fifteen, 1 20.

837

00:
55:04,479 -- 00:55:06,174

One twenty-five.

838

00:
55:06,548 -- 00:55:07,845

One twenty.

839

00:
55:08,016 -- 00:55:09,608

Steady at 1 20.

840

00:
55:09,785 -- 00:55:11,377

TeII them.

841

00:
55:13,021 -- 00:55:14,010

HeIIo.

842

00:
55:14,590 -- 00:55:17,081

Our airspeed is now steady at 1 20.

843

00:
55:17,259 -- 00:55:20,228

Now, Stryker, I want you to put down

20 degrees of fIap.

844

00:
55:20,395 -- 00:55:22,124

Be carefuI not to make it any more.

845

00:
55:22,297 -- 00:55:25,755

The fIap handIe is on the Iower

right-hand side of the controI pedestaI.

846

00:
55:25,934 -- 00:55:29,131

Twenty degrees wiII mean moving

the handIe down to the second notch.

847

00:
55:29,304 -- 00:55:32,796

You'II have to put the fIaps down, EIIen.

There's the handIe there.

848

00:
55:32,975 -- 00:55:36,706

Can you see the flap indicator, Stryker?

It's near the center of the main panel.

849

00:
55:36,879 -- 00:55:39,279

There's the indicator he's taIking about.

850

00:
55:39,448 -- 00:55:42,906

When I teII you, put the handIe down

two notches. Watch that indicator.

851

00:
55:43,085 -- 00:55:44,575

AII right.

852

00:
55:44,753 -- 00:55:47,984

TeII them we're going to put the fIaps

down now.

853

00:
55:48,156 -- 00:55:50,056

We're going to put the flaps down now.

854

00:
55:50,225 -- 00:55:53,353

Okay, 7 1 4. Go ahead with your fIaps.

855

00:
55:53,528 -- 00:55:54,995

Then, when they're down...

856

00:
55:55,163 -- 00:55:58,655

...get your airspeed steady at 1 20,

adjust your trim and caII me once again.

857

00:
55:58,834 -- 00:56:01,200

Twenty degrees of fIap, EIIen.

858

00:
56:01,370 -- 00:56:02,735

AII right.

859

00:
56:10,979 -- 00:56:14,210

The fIaps are down and the airspeed

is steady at 1 20.
