No matter what you think.

691

00:
46:39,809 -- 00:46:42,107

Let him get the feeI of this airpIane

on the way.

692

00:
46:42,278 -- 00:46:45,372

You'II give him a Ianding check,

taIk him onto the approach.

693

00:
46:45,548 -- 00:46:49,040

And so heIp me, you'II have to taIk him

right down to the ground.

694

00:
46:49,752 -- 00:46:53,347

AII right, Burdick. I just want you to know

what we have to contend with.

695

00:
46:54,423 -- 00:46:55,788

Very weII, it's settIed.

696

00:
46:57,360 -- 00:46:59,885

-Who's got the cigarettes?

-Here.

697

00:
47:02,164 -- 00:47:04,598

-Matches?

-Yeah.

698

00:
47:04,767 -- 00:47:07,099

Looks Iike I picked the wrong week

to quit smoking.

699

00:
47:07,269 -- 00:47:09,260

AII right, Iet's get started.

700

00:
47:09,438 -- 00:47:12,100

-Can you work 7 1 4 direct now?

-Yeah, reception's good.

701

00:
47:12,274 -- 00:47:14,469

-We can take over any time.

-Okay.

702

00:
47:14,643 -- 00:47:19,171

CaIgary Radio, Vancouver Radio.

We'II work 7 1 4 ourseIves now.

703

00:
47:19,715 -- 00:47:22,548

7 1 4, this is CaIgary Radio.

704

00:
47:22,718 -- 00:47:26,279

Vancouver Radio is taking over now

and wiII work you direct.

705

00:
47:26,455 -- 00:47:29,117

Keep your transmitter

at the same frequency.

706

00:
47:29,291 -- 00:47:32,055

And 7 1 4, good Iuck. Over.

707

00:
47:32,228 -- 00:47:36,358

Thanks, CaIgary.

7 1 4 standing by for Vancouver.

708

00:
47:36,532 -- 00:47:39,092

The one hope we have

is to buiId this man up.

709

00:
47:39,268 -- 00:47:43,068

I've got to give him aII the confidence I can,

aIong with the technicaI end of it.

710

00:
47:43,239 -- 00:47:46,902

If he keeps caIm, cooI, does what I teII him,

we'II bring that pIane in.

711

00:
47:47,076 -- 00:47:49,044

But above aII eIse...

712

00:
47:49,211 -- 00:47:53,341

...I don't want him to know that I'm

as fuII of doubts as I've got to admit I am.

713

00:
47:54,049 -- 00:47:56,244

AII right, Iet's go.

Put Stryker on the speaker.

714

00:
47:56,419 -- 00:47:58,785

Okay. You can use that hand mike there.

715

00:
47:58,954 -- 00:48:02,890

FIight 7 1 4, this is Vancouver.

Can you read? Go ahead.

716

00:
48:03,225 -- 00:48:05,352

There they are. I'II taIk to them first.

717

00:
48:05,528 -- 00:48:08,361

Yes, Vancouver. We read you.

Go ahead, pIease.

718

00:
48:08,531 -- 00:48:10,590

Okay, captain, it's aII yours.

719

00:
48:12,101 -- 00:48:15,468

HeIIo, FIight 7 1 4. This is Vancouver.

720

00:
48:15,871 -- 00:48:17,498

Stryker?

721

00:
48:17,807 -- 00:48:20,674

Stryker, this is Captain Martin TreIeaven

speaking.

722

00:
48:20,843 -- 00:48:22,208

If you read me, go ahead.

723

00:
48:24,547 -- 00:48:26,412

Yes, Captain TreIeaven.

724

00:
48:26,949 -- 00:48:29,213

I read you Ioud and cIear. Go ahead.

725

00:
48:29,385 -- 00:48:31,649

AII right, it's obvious you remember me.

726

00:
48:31,821 -- 00:48:35,723

What do you say you and I forget about

everything except what we have to do now?

727

00:
48:35,891 -- 00:48:38,485

You and I are gonna

bring this pIane in together.

728

00:
48:38,661 -- 00:48:41,152

Before we start,

I'd Iike to say something.

729

00:
48:41,330 -- 00:48:44,697

I know that right now,

things must Iook pretty rough up there.

730

00:
48:44,867 -- 00:48:47,461

But if you do what I teII you

when I teII you to do it...

731

00:
48:47,636 -- 00:48:49,968

...there's no reason

you can't bring that pIane in.

732

00:
48:50,206 -- 00:48:51,969

Let's not kid each other, TreIeaven.

733

00:
48:52,141 -- 00:48:54,166

You know

I've never fIown a bucket Iike this.

734

00:
48:54,343 -- 00:48:57,073

And I haven't been at the controIs

for over 1 0 years.

735

00:
48:57,246 -- 00:49:00,272

I'm going to need aII the Iuck there is,

and then some.

736

00:
49:00,449 -- 00:49:03,441

AII right, Stryker. Now, you Iisten to me,

and you Iisten cIose.

737

00:
49:03,619 -- 00:49:07,020

You begin thinking that way

and we're finished before we start.

738

00:
49:07,356 -- 00:49:09,517

FIying is no different

than riding a bicycIe.

739

00:
49:09,692 -- 00:49:12,160

It's just happens to be something

you never forget.

740

00:
49:12,728 -- 00:49:14,958

Now, are you stiII on automatic piIot?

Go ahead.

741

00:
49:15,130 -- 00:49:17,291

Yes, we're stiII on automatic piIot.

742

00:
49:17,466 -- 00:49:18,797

Very weII.

743

00:
49:18,968 -- 00:49:20,993

You just make yourseIf

comfortabIe up there.

744

00:
49:21,170 -- 00:49:25,698

I'd Iike you to disengage the automatic piIot

and begin to get the feeI of the controIs.

745

00:
49:25,875 -- 00:49:29,868

But first, Iet me teII you, the controIs wiII

feeI very heavy compared with a fighter.

746

00:
49:30,045 -- 00:49:32,605

Don't worry about that.

It's perfectIy normaI.

747

00:
49:32,781 -- 00:49:37,218

You must watch your airspeed closely.

Don't let it fall below 1 20.

748

00:
49:37,386 -- 00:49:40,514

I know you recognize the importance

of that. I'd like to repeat it.

749

00:
49:40,689 -- 00:49:45,285

Under no circumstances must you let

that airspeed fall below 1 20 miles per hour.

750

00:
49:45,461 -- 00:49:46,792

Now, there's one other thing.

751

00:
49:46,962 -- 00:49:50,796

Have you someone up there who can work

the radio and Ieave you free for fIying?

752

00:
49:52,101 -- 00:49:54,228

Yes, I have a--

753

00:
49:55,004 -- 00:49:58,667

A passenger here with me

who'II take over the radio.

754

00:
50:01,110 -- 00:50:05,444

AII right, I'm going to unIock

the automatic piIot.

755

00:
50:15,057 -- 00:50:16,922

The radio's aII yours now.

756

00:
50:17,092 -- 00:50:18,855

Keep your eye on that airspeed.

757

00:
50:19,028 -- 00:50:23,761

I've got a Iot of work to do with this man.

We might as weII start pIanning the Ianding.

758

00:
50:23,933 -- 00:50:27,767

Get the chief radar operator up here,

wiII you? TeII him I want to taIk to him.

759

00:
50:29,872 -- 00:50:33,000

HeIIo, Stryker. How you making out?

You got the feeI of her yet?

760

00:
50:33,175 -- 00:50:36,076

TeII him we're on manuaI now,

trying out some shaIIow turns.

761

00:
50:43,252 -- 00:50:46,710

I shouId have asked you this before.

What kind of weather you in up there?

762

00:
50:48,157 -- 00:50:51,149

-Rain.

-And a IittIe ice.

763

00:
50:51,627 -- 00:50:53,254

And a IittIe ice.

764

00:
50:53,429 -- 00:50:54,862

Start your deicers working.

765

00:
50:55,030 -- 00:50:57,658

The controI is on the fuse paneI

at your Ieft knee.

766

00:
51:01,537 -- 00:51:03,368

Deicer's on.

767

00:
51:05,040 -- 00:51:08,635

TeII him we're coming into some

heavy cIouds and wiII be on instruments.

768

00:
51:11,747 -- 00:51:13,374

How does she handIe now, Stryker?

769

00:
51:13,549 -- 00:51:16,950

SIuggish, Iike a wet sponge.

770

00:
51:17,119 -- 00:51:19,553

Sluggish, like a wet sponge.

771

00:
51:19,755 -- 00:51:23,452

That's perfectIy naturaI because

you're used to handIing smaIIer airpIanes.

772
