low enough. You'll have to decide.

1124

01:
14:39,720 -- 01:14:42,120

Too Iow, Ted. We're too Iow.

1125

01:
14:42,289 -- 01:14:46,623

Stryker? Stryker, can you hear me?

You've got to keep her up. Keep her up.

1126

01:
14:46,794 -- 01:14:49,524

Stryker, get your altitude back.

You need 1 000 feet.

1127

01:
14:51,699 -- 01:14:53,929

He's dropping off fast. AImost 700.

1128

01:
14:54,101 -- 01:14:56,035

Stryker, get back to 1 000 feet.

1129

01:
14:59,673 -- 01:15:02,335

Captain, he's beIow 700 now,

and he's stiII going down.

1130

01:
15:02,676 -- 01:15:04,075

You can't come straight in.

1131

01:
15:04,245 -- 01:15:06,475

You've got enough fueI Ieft

for two hours' fIying.

1132

01:
15:06,647 -- 01:15:08,945

Stay up there

untiI we get a break in the weather.

1133

01:
15:09,116 -- 01:15:11,209

I'II take it, EIIen.

1134

01:
15:11,385 -- 01:15:14,786

Listen, TreIeaven, I'm coming in.

Do you hear me? I'm coming in right now.

1135

01:
15:14,955 -- 01:15:16,855

We have peopIe up here

incIuding my son...

1136

01:
15:17,024 -- 01:15:19,458

...who'II die in Iess than one hour,

never mind two.

1137

01:
15:19,627 -- 01:15:22,289

I may bend your precious airpIane,

but I'II bring it down.

1138

01:
15:22,463 -- 01:15:24,363

Now get on with the Ianding check.

1139

01:
15:24,598 -- 01:15:26,964

I'm putting the gear down now.

1140

01:
15:35,609 -- 01:15:38,009

-Ted?

-Yes?

1141

01:
15:38,179 -- 01:15:41,114

I just wanted you to know now...

1142

01:
15:41,282 -- 01:15:43,011

...I'm very proud.

1143

01:
15:45,619 -- 01:15:48,315

TeII them the gear is down

and we're ready to Iand.

1144

01:
15:48,489 -- 01:15:49,979

The gear is now down.

1145

01:
15:50,157 -- 01:15:51,624

And we're ready to land.

1146

01:
15:51,792 -- 01:15:55,421

He may not be abIe to fIy,

but he's sure got guts.

1147

01:
15:57,965 -- 01:16:00,399

Keep your heading steady

on 0-9-0.

1148

01:
16:00,568 -- 01:16:02,968

Increase you throttIe setting

to hoId your airspeed.

1149

01:
16:03,137 -- 01:16:04,434

Advance your prop controI...

1150

01:
16:04,605 -- 01:16:07,403

...so you're getting a reading

of 2250 rpm on each engine.

1151

01:
16:09,443 -- 01:16:11,570

Twenty-two fifty rpm.

1152

01:
16:11,745 -- 01:16:14,680

He's still dropping. Just under 600.

1153

01:
16:18,919 -- 01:16:20,784

Five fifty.

1154

01:
16:20,955 -- 01:16:22,149

Five hundred.

1155

01:
16:22,356 -- 01:16:23,846

Stryker, you're too Iow.

1156

01:
16:24,058 -- 01:16:25,685

StiII on 1 40.

1157

01:
16:25,860 -- 01:16:27,794

Altitude steady at 500.

1158

01:
16:27,962 -- 01:16:29,589

He's right on the heading.

1159

01:
16:29,763 -- 01:16:31,162

AII right, he's on finaI now.

1160

01:
16:31,332 -- 01:16:34,028

Put out aII the runway Iights

except Number 9.

1161

01:
16:50,284 -- 01:16:52,149

Turn on your Ianding Iights, Stryker.

1162

01:
16:52,319 -- 01:16:54,310

Can you find the switch?

1163

01:
17:03,063 -- 01:17:04,530

AII right, Iisten carefuIIy.

1164

01:
17:04,698 -- 01:17:07,064

You shouId be abIe to see the runway

at 300 feet.

1165

01:
17:07,234 -- 01:17:09,202

Aim to touch down a third

of the way aIong.

1166

01:
17:09,370 -- 01:17:11,497

There's a crosswind from the right.

Be ready.

1167

01:
17:11,672 -- 01:17:15,733

If you land too fast, use emergency brakes.

The red handle is right in front of you.

1168

01:
17:15,910 -- 01:17:19,846

If that doesn't stop you, cut the four

ignition switches over the copilot's head.

1169

01:
17:20,581 -- 01:17:21,843

You see them, EIIen?

1170

01:
17:22,483 -- 01:17:24,280

If I want them off it'II be in a hurry.

1171

01:
17:24,451 -- 01:17:26,419

-Don't waste any time about it.

-AII right.

1172

01:
17:26,620 -- 01:17:28,679

Now, Stryker, hoId your present heading.

1173

01:
17:28,856 -- 01:17:31,689

Put down fuII fIap,

bring your airspeed back to 1 1 0...

1174

01:
17:31,859 -- 01:17:34,259

...adjust your trim,

and start easing her down.

1175

01:
17:34,428 -- 01:17:36,760

-Everything ready on the fieId?

-As we'II ever be.

1176

01:
17:36,931 -- 01:17:38,558

Give me aItitude and speed.

1177

01:
17:38,732 -- 01:17:40,427

Four hundred feet. Speed, 1 1 5.

1178

01:
17:40,601 -- 01:17:42,569

Three fifty. Speed, 1 1 0.

1179

01:
17:42,770 -- 01:17:45,466

Do you see us now?

You shouId be abIe to see the fieId.

1180

01:
18:18,372 -- 01:18:19,930

There he is.

1181

01:
18:26,981 -- 01:18:28,642

Stryker, you're coming in too fast.

1182

01:
18:28,816 -- 01:18:30,579

I know, I know. Keep watching.

1183

01:
18:30,751 -- 01:18:34,915

Three hundred. Speed, 1 25.

Three hundred. Speed, 1 30.

1184

01:
18:35,089 -- 01:18:37,683

Stryker, now Iisten to me.

You're coming down too fast.

1185

01:
18:43,564 -- 01:18:44,997

Sound your aIarm beII now.

1186

01:
18:48,569 -- 01:18:51,129

AII right,

everybody get in the crash position.

1187

01:
18:53,440 -- 01:18:56,568

Put your heads down.

Everybody, put your heads down.

1188

01:
18:58,078 -- 01:18:59,875

Now, Iet down, easy.

1189

01:
19:05,586 -- 01:19:08,453

Watch your nose, it's too Iow.

You're coming in too hot.

1190

01:
19:08,622 -- 01:19:12,080

Remember you're brakes and switches.

Get ready to fIare it out.

1191

01:
19:13,227 -- 01:19:14,854

You're coming in too fast.

1192

01:
19:17,765 -- 01:19:19,426

Now ease her down. Down.

1193

01:
19:22,536 -- 01:19:24,299

Lift the nose. ThrottIe back.

1194

01:
19:29,109 -- 01:19:30,804

The brakes. PuII that red handIe.

1195

01:
19:41,388 -- 01:19:42,650

Cut the switches.

1196

01:
19:44,591 -- 01:19:45,580

HoId her steady.

1197

01:
20:10,250 -- 01:20:12,912

Everything's aII right back here.

Thanks to you.

1198

01:
20:13,087 -- 01:20:14,076

And we're in time.

1199

01:
20:14,254 -- 01:20:16,552

-Oh, thank God.

-Thanks.

1200

01:
20:18,258 -- 01:20:20,886

Stryker. Stryker, you all right?

1201

01:
20:22,896 -- 01:20:25,387

-Okay.

-Ted?

1202

01:
20:25,899 -- 01:20:29,995

Ted, that was probabIy the Iousiest Ianding

in the history of this airport.

1203

01:
20:30,871 -- 01:20:34,398

But there are some of us here,
